A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

It's just natural human instinct. We're programmed to look for patterns and see faces. It's the same reason we attribute human characteristics to animals or even inanimate objects.
Add to that the fact that everyone refers to LLM chatbots as humans and this is inevitable.
I learned the other day that a few people (devs) I know and respect have pet names and genders for the LLMs they use and converse with them regularly.
I'm rethinking some of my feelings about those people.
