@emilymbender Thanks! This is absolutely wonderful.
Is there a list of resources for someone who might have opportunity to debate (ugh, such a sophomoric concept) how "AI" is being misleading?
I have received a "challenge", and would like to boost my arsenal a bit, just to be on the safe side (insurance against gotchas).

@emilymbender Thank you for the article! I am afraid we are already at a level, where sycophancy and self-affirmation mechanisms are built in on purpose at the chat interfaces of LLMs. People get, by design choices, emotionally bound to the product. That is despicable and needs to be regulated.

@emilymbender I wish they'd proposed more examples of alternative language

Great article Prof. Bender
We should have called it Artificial Text Generator instead of AI. -

@emilymbender this is where "AI slop" is such a great phrase, and it's important that we keep using it.

@emilymbender I think chatbots using the first person singular has been the worst part.
