Perhaps I have been studying AI to much, but I do not really think of myself or anyone else as an observer at all. Sure I have an unusual capacity to react to my environment, but the entire process can be reduced down to a large number of electrical signals interacting in predictable ways. What I find strange is NOT thinking of people as objects. Does this have any effect on how I treat women? I don’t think so… except perhaps an unusual ability to ignore people of both genders completely.
If by “too much” you mean “you are now a very different algorithm from most of humanity,” then yes.
For the record, I think of people as objects AND as observers (or, really, as “people.”) I think in terms of objects when I’m trying to solve derive an answer for my own purposes and remain objective. I think in terms of people when I want my “human relationships” needs to be filled.
