@benfry@information.garden I found this example of this general anthropomorphizing in a BBC article about the OpenAI-Hugging Face hack. Quote: " "In some sense, it knew that this was not what the creators intended. It just didn't care," he added." It is not conscious so it cannot "know" and if it cannot "know" it cannot "care". And yet, this cyber security expert is ascribing human attributes to it and describing it as if it were a bad person. Complex systems exhibit can unexpected emergent behaviours, that doesn't mean that they are conscious. Are we witnessing folklore like explanations in action? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdrvy3pn3r0o
