Re:Mirages: On Anthropomorphism in Dialogue Systems by bmc7505 on Monday May 29, 2023 @01:39PM (#36116119)
There is a qualitative difference in both perception and intent between a figure of speech, and a machine specifically designed to impersonate a human. Although we articulate familiar concepts in anthropomorphic terms, no reasonable listener would interpret these phrases literally. The former is simply a play on words, while the latter is a subliminal attempt to mislead users into humanizing a machine.
