How would you make the case for not calling an LLM "he" or "him" like it is a particular person without sounding like the Bene Gesserit?
For some reason it really bothers me on a deep level. What the heck is that about?
Oddly? I do not feel upset about the robotics team doing this for the robot they built. I think my issue is with the notion of an individual being ... mentally constructed who simply does not exist.
@futurebird I think that #techbros are just little boys longing to talk to their teddy bear. #Animism is something deep in our minds. What irritates me: these guys have no problem to talk to trash but could never talk to a tree or see an intelligent animal as a person. And this crashing with #nature makes me feel deeply unwell.
