“#AI is not your friend. Nor is it an intelligent tutor, or an empathetic ear. It can not “make up” facts and it does not make “mistakes”. It does not actually answer your questions.

The problem with #anthropomorphic descriptions is the risk of masking important limitations of probabilistic automation systems, which make it fundamentally different from human cognition."
