Please stop anthropomorphizing computers
Bluesky had fun today with the people who yell at you for anthropomorphizing the models.
Daniel Klein, borrowing from Kai Lentit: "please stop anthropomorphizing LLMs! They hate that."
Hannah Shelley points out that computers can't run a program, since they have no legs.
Dame adds that they can't cut, copy or paste either. No scissors, no glue.
We've been talking about computers like this forever. I wrote about why it's useful to anthropomorphize the models a couple of weeks ago.
