Crazy that we have some sort of machine that can move faster than a human being now

I understand this feeling. Relief at a human-bad essay instead of a machine-bad essay. I can work with human-bad! Machine-bad is an insult to my humanity.
Finally, I got a homework submission that was written by a person. I like how delighted I am to read something short, idiosyncratic and, frankly, confusing.

See now I’m starting to think that these people want a machine to summarize things for them because when a human does it, the human uses words like “no” and “that would hurt people” and “that’s illegal.”

AI companies are playing a game wherein these computer programs are presented to the public as autonomous individuals capable of issuing a meaningful apology. The machine is just a machine. Human beings owe the apology for building the machine irresponsibly and unleashing it on the world.
so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

The reason Usain Bolt is notable is because he accomplished a feat of amazing human athleticism. I'm not sure why a machine doing that faster is impressive at all. Why compare a machine to human accomplishments when those accomplishments are important because they are human?

Ok, and? This is like saying a car beat a human in a race. Of course it did. It’s a machine. It doesn’t “beat” a human world record.

Turing failed to consider whether a human thinking a machine is sentient might actually be a sign that the human isn't intelligent rather than the machine being intelligent.

Functionalist approaches measure intelligence by how closely its outputs resemble the human mind. If you constantly recalibrate its outputs to resemble a human mind, you're not creating a thinking machine. You are creating a machine to trick other functionalists.
To me the chatbots pose zero interesting questions about the ‘nature of selfhood’ but dozens about the nature of manipulation. Here the Claude team pretends they are programming the robot for ethical responses but they land on one that is false and disingenuous.
