@foaylward I think the most important message here is that we need #mediaLiteracy.
Unfortunately, the trend of #alienation from nature, #anthropomorphising etc. began long before #AI: with the #instagramisation of life. Now it's the mass of #AISlop.
Which is different from #AI as #ML. In our nature park we try to reconnect children with nature via technics: on excursions in the forest etc. they may use their ID-Apps (which work with AI!) ... and many know more about species than their parents.
Ugh.
Seeing "learning" and "understanding" being said to occur in LLMs.
So much #Anthropomorphising, so much bullshit.
Hint: If it was done using pencil and paper, no matter how long it took the pencil and paper would have learnt nothing and would understand nothing.
