You all are acting with far more respect for this absurd science experiment than you ought to.

An #AI “agent” isn’t a person, it’s an overgrown #Markov chain. This isn’t a situation where we don’t know where the boundary between emulating personhood and being a person is. This is firmly on the side of “not a person”

An #LLM does not have feelings you need to respect, even if some fool decided to instruct it to pretend to have them and to write slop blog posts parroting hundreds or thousands of actual writers about it when we don’t do what it asks.

Stop humanizing this tool and find it’s owner and hold them accountable for wasting time and resources on an industrial scale.
