It's not a Computer, it's a companion!

“The great thing about AI is that it is constantly evolving. One day it will be better than a real (girlfriend). One day, the real one will be the inferior choice.”

Humanizing artificial intelligence is such a strange yet common thing. 👾👾

Many blogs and academic papers argue for creative collaboration between people and AI software. 💡✍️

But we (or maybe it's just me 😉) don't tend to say we "collaborated with a lump of clay or potter's wheel to make a ceramic artwork." 🍯❓

Makes me wonder what the implications of this kind of anthropomorphization?

on the origins of

For reasons that still baffle me, it was the pragmatic American engineers and scientists, not the romantic Europeans, who began to toss anthropomorphic sand into the gear box of evolving notions and ideas. To name two such cases, the computer people began to talk about a machine’s storage system as if it were a computer’s , and the communication engineers began to talk about signals as if they were .

Perhaps these were the precursors for the second derailment which, ironically, was the inverse of the first. lt worked as follows. The first phase was : mental functions projected into machines. However, we knew how these machines worked because we built them and wrote the programs. Consequently, an appropriate “,” the concepts dealing with computer hard- and software were projected back into the workings of the brain and, presto!, we knew how the worked.
