Humanizing AI

AI is becoming human—more human in the way it communicates, responding based on context, and matching the tone that we articulate.

AI is becoming human—quite human in what it generates, expressing itself through creative works and the solutions it quickly formulates.

AI is becoming human—which is evidenced by how well it imitates, deceiving us with convincing content even though we know it hallucinates.

AI is becoming human—is this something we'll appreciate? Or will humanizing AI be the end of us? The trigger to an apocalyptic human fate.

But if AI is becoming human— certainly we'll have to shape, navigate, evaluate, mitigate, integrate, validate, and, most importantly, regulate.
