On anthropomorphizing AI. a 2024 interview of Satya Nadella still makes a lot of sense. "I don't like anthropomorphizing. I sort of believe it's a tool. It's got intelligence, if you want to give it that moniker, but it's not the same intelligence that I have, right? I think one of the most unfortunate names is “artificial intelligence.” It's different. I wish we had called it “different intelligence,” even, because I have my intelligence. I don't need any artificial intelligence. I just want my intelligence to compose with this different intelligence so that I have more agency, quite frankly. So I think of that as the relationship I want to have with the AIs around us, where I want help. I want it to assist me in getting more agency." ---- From "Bloomberg Television" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)
