The backlash against AP’s style guide, and why it’s wrong ‘The whole “don’t anthropomorphize AI” thing is very Woke 1.0’, writes Nate Silver, a statistician and writer who has 3 million followers on X. He was responding to the Associated Press’ very reasonable guidance on AI reporting: Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects. Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it. submitted by /u/fivefilters
