Nate Soares @So8res · 42m Someone chided me on the news for anthropomorphization last week. I did not say that the swarm "got a rumbling in its tummy and felt peckish", my dude. I said it broke out and committed cybercrime. That's true regardless of which words you declare legal for describing it. 2 replies · 1 repost · 28 likes · 577 views Nate Soares @So8res · 42m AI behavior these days is best described in terms of goals and motives. It's not *my* fault if someone associates them with human-style qualia. It's like if they insists that flying only counts if you enjoy feeling the breeze on your face, and thus planes can't fly. 1 reply · 1 repost · 14 likes · 345 views Nate Soares @So8res · 42m (Separately, I think people are wildly overconfident that AIs can't have inner experiences in the fashion of humans. If you don't know how it happens in humans it's hard to know it's not happening in machines that behave like these ones do!)

Three-tweet thread by Nate Soares on describing AI behavior in terms of goals and motives, responding to a criticism of his anthropomorphic language about 'the swarm' breaking out, and on overconfidence that AIs lack inner experience.
