I already admired Associated Press for its stand on on the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

@jeridansky Wasn't there a massive list of hard coded "I have feelsies" responses found in a recent data dump of one of these services?
@gudenau @jeridansky The Claude vibe coded source from the leak in the end of march 2026 you mean? @jonny looked at it among others, I believe.

@jeridansky I use the app because the site is super buggy on my phone.
I’ll take a look at their policy. Thank you. I’ve been curious.
@colorblindcowboy Ah, I access the AP website from my Mac, not my phone. So that's why it works for me and not for you.

I already admired Associated Press for its stand on on the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. And now I’m admiring its stand on reporting about AI.

In the midst of heated discussions on AI safety and consciousness, the Associated Press Stylebook has reminded everyone of where it stands on the whole “anthropomorphism” debate.
“Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics,” it wrote Wednesday in a post on X. “This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.”
This didn’t go over well in the world of AI experts and adherents, whose nerves, shall we say, were collectively struck by what they characterized as a “completely insane” declaration.
@jeridansky not to be pedantic but this is anthropopathizing, not anthropomorphizing (sorry, that was pedantic).

@jeridansky ... Of course they're melting down. It's factually correct. Like it is objectively a fact: these are not sentient systems, and people are easily fooled into believing things are sentient when they are not.
