'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?'

Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

@bengo @Mer__edith What is really bothering is this article, trying to impose intentions on the chatbot, when it just generates probabilistic words. "chatbots try to negotiate their way out", "deflect attention from their mistakes", "tried to change the subject", "admitting when it didn’t know", "it admitted", "was caught out lying"...

None of this is true, or makes sense!

The urge to anthropomorphise stuff is really hard to resist. It's even worse when people actually think it's warranted.

@veronica @tdelmas @bengo @Mer__edith It's like non-sentient objects want to be anthropomorphised
