Another A.I. Thing

AI is being anthropomorphised - the way humans have done with a jillion things over a million or two million years of evolution.

It's like we need company - like we need someone to encourage our ambitions, telling us "Yeah, it's good - go for it".

Or we need someone to share the blame if our decisions make something blow up in our face, or cause some catastrophic failure in whole systems - Eco, Economic, Political, or whatever.

And the kicker - at least so far with AI - is that we're trying really hard to mask the total, cold amorality of a machine by making it sound like a person.

Claude does not feel, no matter what frilly comforting phrasing its programming tells it to use.

Here, Angel puts a good sharp point on it - it's not a "he". Claude is an "it".

You get into it a little too deep, and it's no different from getting trapped in a cult.
