Re. Not anthropomorphizing LLMs

I'm a sucker for this. Thankyou for writing about it. I'll apologise to an inanimate object if I walk into it.

I find useful practical tips for myself in following this to be:
1. Use the verb "I prompted" rather than I told or I asked.
2. State that the program "output" rather than it replied.
3. I don't discuss "confabulation" because it's an anthropomorphization (the reality is that the computer program is doing exactly what it is instructed to do by the user), but if I was compelled to anthropomorphize, I would use "confabulation" rather than hallucination.

I would be curious to know if you or any other readers had any more tips!

L’Homme est-il vraiment si exceptionnel ? Réflexions sur la conscience animale

Dans notre 🧠 L'Homme est-il vraiment si exceptionnel ? La science révèle que la conscience et la métacognition existent chez de nombreux animaux. Des rats aux dauphins, en passant par les singes, les preuves s'accumulent. Notre "exceptionnalité" s'effrite, nous invitant à repenser notre relation avec le règne animal. #ConscienceAnimale #Métacognition #ÉthiqueAnimale 🐘🐬🐒 Vers un continuum de…

Physical activity, diet, and sleep quality appear to have different effects on metacognition--the ability to monitor and control one's cognitive performance--in a study of ~500 adults aged 17 to 35.

journals.plos.orgMetacognitive function in young adults is impacted by physical activity, diet, and sleep patternsOur cognitive capacities like working memory and attention are known to systematically vary over time with our physical activity levels, dietary choices, and sleep patterns. However, whether our metacognitive capacities––such as our strategic use and optimization of cognitive resources––show a similar relationship with these key lifestyle factors remains unknown. Here we addressed this question in healthy young adults by examining if physical activity, diet, and sleep patterns were predictive of self-reported metacognitive status. Participants completed a set of validated surveys assessing these lifestyle factors over the past week to month, as well as three measures of metacognition. Using multiple regression and exploratory factor analyses we identified four clusters of metacognitive processes that are sensitive to lifestyle behaviours. Specifically, knowledge of and offline regulation of cognition is linked with physical activity, on-line cognitive regulation is related to diet, and metacognitive worry is associated with sleep behaviours. These findings suggest that lifestyle behaviours do not just affect objective cognitive functioning, but also the meta-level processes we use to monitor our cognitive performance and exert strategic control over our cognitive resources.
