you thank your car?

whatever floats your boat but I think we both know you are just being contrarian now

Anthropomorphic Fallacy

https://psychology.tips/anthropomorphic-fallacy/

why are you arguing that at me? I just argued that its not a human, AI is a tool and should be treated as such. If my tool sucks, I will tell it so and quit using it. If my tool is great, I will use it to the best of my ability and respect its functionality.

everyone else here is making scarecrow arguments because I just don’t think it needs to be anthropomorphized. The link speaks about “tens of millions of dollars” wasted on computing please and thank you

that is fucking stupid behavior

but dont anthropomorphize your tools. And it’s odd when someone does.

I see people beat up their things all the time without getting upset

I don’t really care when someone smashes the door closed of their car

or smashes their keyboard in frustration or tosses a pen that doesn’t work right

its a hammer, do you teach the kids to thank their tools?

I understand teaching the children respect and how to behave, but AI and Siri/Alexa are just tools. They don’t need to be anthropomorphizing ai, IMO that is dangerous on a humanity level scale.
