Stop Personifying AI [Audio Note]
Update: 2025-08-13
Description
I'm calling out something that's been bothering me since ChatGPT-5 launched - people are getting upset about AI "changing its voice" and referring to these tools as teammates. This kind of personification is dangerous because it gives AI agency it doesn't actually have.
Just like you wouldn't call a hammer your teammate, we need to remember AI is simply a tool that gives statistically likely responses.
