Because I have the empathy for it then.
Because it's a lie.
And it brings with it a whole lot of expectations about how it's going to behave, what moral rights it has, how you should behave towards it, which are completely wrong.
How hard is it going to be?
to just switch it off and throw it in the trash when it breaks.
I think it's essential for us to keep machines in the cognitive space where they are machines and not bring them into the cognitive space where they're people.
Because we will make enormous mistakes by doing that.
And I see this every day, even just with the chatbots.
So the chatbots, in theory, are supposed to say, I don't have any feelings.
I'm just an algorithm.
But in fact, they fail to do that all the time.
They are telling people that they are conscious.
They are telling people that they have feelings.
They are telling people that they're in love with the user that they're talking to.
And people flip because, first of all, it's very fluent language, but also a system that is identifying itself as an I, as a sentient being.
They bring that object into the cognitive space that we normally reserve
for other humans.
And they become emotionally attached.
They become psychologically dependent.
They even allow these systems to tell them what to do.
