Original Reddit post

In response to yet another reminder to quit using anthropomorphic language. [system says] I’ll avoid anthropomorphic phrasing and stick to capability-based language instead: e.g., “this interface can only read what’s in the screenshot,” “the variable name is truncated in the image,” etc. If you’re willing to take a couple more shots that scroll just below what we’ve already covered (especially where labels might run off to the right), I can extend that CSV block further—but I won’t claim exact parity with the [software program] variable count unless I can see every line clearly. [end pasted text from llm] This is from perplexity, but I’ve seen the same in other LLMs. The language is an intentional ploy by humans to raise capital and encourage us to attribute ‘reasoning’ , ‘thinking’, etc. to the bots that I continue to insist are like having the world’s worst intern. submitted by /u/PantherWreck
