When is being mislead not a bad thing? In a perfect world, there would be none of that. Of course we don’t live in a utopia, but I’d prefer if we avoid spreading skewed understandings of anything at all as much as possible. It’s a matter of principle.
Nobody does this when people say their computer is “thinking” when it’s running slow, I just don’t see the necessity of pointing this out every time the topic is brought up.
Nobody thinks they are the same, some wonder if it can be made to do equivalent things. Nobody needs to hear that what they are doing isn’t thought for the same reason nobody needs to hear that my computer isn’t actually thinking when it’s running slow.
I don’t think this is true. People are out here having straight up AI psychosis. Do you really think there aren’t fools who believe their computer is actually thinking like a human?
I don’t think a single one of them believe that pattern prediction vs a human brain is meaningfully distinct, so this argument is worthless to them, it’d be like saying “nuh uh”, you’re not engaging with their beliefs, so, how would this help?
