The entire argument is that thinking it's intelligent or a person makes us missuse the tool in dangerous ways. Not to make us feel better; but to not do stupid things with them. As a tool its useful yes, that is not the issue; - theyre used as phycologist and life coaches. - judges of policy and law documents - writers of life affecting computer systems. - Judges of job applications. - Sources of medical advice, - legal advisors - And increasingly as a thing to blame when any of above goes awry.
