Flesh & bone by the telephone on Nostr: My employer, like so many others, has been forcing the use of hallucination machines. ...
My employer, like so many others, has been forcing the use of hallucination machines. During a meeting recently we were talking about using it, and I referred to it as "it".
Obviously, it is proper English to do so. But, one coworker was shocked by this and asked me why I used that word. I calmly explained that it is a large very flawed statistical model and nothing more, so "it" is the appropriate word.
I think that blew their mind. Their reaction was just silence.
I miss actual intelligence
