    "parsed_content": "I've been thinking a lot about how much, or if, A.I. threatens our humanity. I tend to think that it doesn't, on its own. When we look closely, we find what threatens our human rights, or even our sense of being human at all, isn't large language models or other A.I. systems. Usually, I find we are deploying these models in areas where that sense of humanity is already threatened, like healthcare, government data collection, and more. \nAs I was writing this, I was thinking that the problem with anthropomorphism isn't quite a problem with A.I. \u2014 it's a problem with how we think about A.I. Because so little scientific knowledge about these systems exist, it's easy to get off on the wrong track \u2014 and that can be a threat to humanity, as the episodes we've seen recently make clear.",

The core issue isn't AI itself, but rather our anthropomorphic thinking about it due to a lack of scientific understanding.",
