I think this post misses one of the points of analogies. Often, if someone thinks “AI is like human”, you can’t say “no, AI is totally not like human” and expect your point to be understood. Often the point of analogy is to defamiliarize the subject.
I agree but the same problem exists for “AIs are like aliens”. Analogies only take you so far. AIs are their own unique things, not fully like anything else in our world.
