I think there are two key lessons from Linguistics as we deal with LLMs/chatbots being imposed on us everywhere. Grateful for Undark Magazine giving space for me to lay these out:

@emilymbender@dair-community.social Do you have a concept that describes the second lesson about how we interpret language in a way where we imagine a mind behind it? I'm reminded of Dennett's intentional stance and regularly think how useful it is to have concepts like that to make sense of why we project our own minds into other things. Come to think of it, 'projection' might be a good old psychological concept too.
