Thanks brilliant article. Really great explanation of why we shouldn't expect anything but weird from it.

"The only knowledge it has is knowledge of distribution of linguistic form." (Computationally expensive autocorr-wrong).

A profile of mentions attempts to equate RichGuy machines with humans. It reminded me of in :
> There are no rights of property, only.. rights of persons with property.. I have a right to my car, but my car has no rights. The right.. differs from others in that one person’s possession of property deprives another of that right if I own my car, you do not; but in a just and free society, my freedom of speech would not limit yours.

> [Emily Bender] She also started publicly challenging the term artificial intelligence, a sure way, as a middle-aged woman in a male field, to get yourself branded as a scold. The idea of intelligence has a white-supremacist history. And besides, “intelligent” according to what definition? The three-stratum definition? ’s theory of multiple intelligences? The Stanford-Binet ?

'Bender remains particularly fond of an alternative name for AI proposed by a former member of the Italian Parliament: “Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences.” Then people would be out here asking, “Is this SALAMI intelligent? Can this SALAMI write a novel? Does this SALAMI deserve human rights?”'
