I’d like to think that we are making some progress in our conversations about AI, but comments like this really just pull us back.
You even ignored the quotes that OP put around ‘aware’.
As someone working with GPT-3 day-to-day at $dayjob, these words - usually reserved for sentient beings - are simply put typically the most apt to use in pretty much all contexts other than some sections of an academic paper. The fact that you yourself couldn’t get the sentence to work right is a testament to that.
Again, as someone that’s working with and having conversations about this day-to-day, we all find ourselves using these words, first kind of awkwardly, with laughs and air quotes, and we try to mentally reach for the best word to use. Eventually we all just know what we mean, and that’s that.
So, if I can ask directly, how do I talk about this online in a way that allows for productive conversations about the very obviously disruptive abilities of LLMs but that still avoids your snark?
