Pretty much everything wrong about our perception of AI technologies (among both researchers and the general public) boils down to excessive anthropomorphism.
AI is tricky; it emulates exactly the narrow set of human skills it is explicitly designed or trained to emulate, and none of the others. In doing so, it takes every available shortcut, producing a system that has essentially no common ground with the human mind.
AI is effectively a cognitive cartoon -- superficially, it looks like it's alive, but it's really a sequence of crude sketches on paper that emulate human expressions/behavior. As such, a project like Sophia the robot is really the epitome of contemporary AI.
AI is to human cognitive abstractions what cartoon characters are to human emotions.
Crucially, the generation of autonomous abstraction is largely orthogonal to the encoding & operationalization of existing human abstractions as seen in current AI systems - much like creating cartoon characters is orthogonal to creating new lifeforms. AI has yet to get started.
I think this is huge but I believe we also use their inhuman foreignness to launder ethical responsibility. The AI made the decision, it's objective and no person is responsible!
What about emotions? Emotions are part of Human Beings, we are not getting closer to create artificial emotions which are key parts of AI
There’s a handy name for this type of anthropomorphizing: the ELIZA effect. Let a computer do one surprisingly clever thing — even by accident — and we tend to adjust our priors too much. Once we peek behind the curtain, we learn to be more skeptical.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA_effect …
Maybe peek behind the curtain is unfair since we can not look behind the curtain for human intelligence.
