One thing that stuck out to me reading this was the constant reference to various AI agent's by a name.
It made me step back and think about how some of these AI products are named and I honestly prefer when a product isn't named like a person. Just to think of two: you have "Claude" and "Alexa" which gives the impression you are speaking to a person when you very very much are not.
I gotta say I kind of prefer the name "ChatGPT" that OpenAI went with. It doesn't try to pretend it's a human with it's naming and also describes what it is in it's name.
- ginko 1y agoI think Star Trek nailed how I would want to interact with a computer by voice. (maybe someone will figure out how to make AI agents do that, including Majel Barrett's voice)
- hoppp 1y agoYeah, I would also prefer to rename a smart house controlling agent to "robo butler 9000" just because its funny. I dont want a human slave. I want to feel like Im in a weirdly funny episode of Futurama
- xg15 1y agoI think I find the trend of giving AI products names of persons sort of uncanny, exactly because of that: It implies that a lot of the people in charge of naming those products do empathize with the idea of wanting human slaves, or at least human butlers...
