Joscha Bach Calls Current AI Models Needlessly Anthropomorphic
Researcher Joscha Bach uses a submarine metaphor to describe artificial minds.
Joscha Bach replied to another user on X with a metaphor about submarines. He wrote that submarines swim adequately yet dive better, adding that human minds stay limited to the surface while artificial minds can reach unreachable depths. Bach concluded that present AIs remain needlessly anthropomorphic. The same text appears in a retweet of his own post. The packet records only these statements from Bach and generated summaries of them.

Joscha Bach@Plinz@GroundControl Submarines can swim just fine, but they are even better at diving. Where human minds are limited to moving at the surface, artificial minds will probe depths we cannot reach. But for now, we are building AIs that are needlessly anthropomorphic.
