Ryota Kanai(@kanair):I think it’s reasonable to avoid anthropomorphising AI because they might have different kinds of internal mechanisms to humans. But if we want to be thorough, we should stop using “Intelligence” for AI, because it’s an anthropomorphic concept.

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects. Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
