Our suggestions for alternatives to anthropomorphizing language are presented in Table 3. For two categories, Emotion and Human role analogy, we found that there were no simple replacements.

Like why were chatbots designed to message you as if it were a person? What benefit does sycophantic chatbot design even have to information retrieval? Surely there is no actual benefit
This is true and it really begs the question: why did tech giants adopt the goal of personifying/anthropomorphizing technology as much as possible?
read this from the pov of one of the women ‘drawn’ to RFK Jr. at first and was sufficiently disturbed
it’s just not worth the risk of total reputational collapse!
I watched the episodes he was in when I was 13 and totally forgot about it. 5 years later I watched Call Me By Your Name and wondered why I had an unexplained bias against his character…turns out it was due to his bad actions on Homeland that I had just internalized!
Can’t believe he admitted this for free…under no duress…😮💨
This is definitely a weirdly overt example of a dark pattern… it’s like they listed out a few standard design principles and said, ‘how can we do the exact opposite of this’ 🤨

I’ve always wondered why Bill Gates’ word is taken as some sort of gospel in the climate space…he is simply not an environmental scientist. In fact he’s not even close
