Useful information. That said, it's probably a little more dangerous in this case because too many people are personifying LLM behavior. I don't think any people assume The Spirit of Ukraine is a sentient being, for instance.

But I concede that the people pushing AI certainly can be, especially since their influence has ruined so many lives already and is poised to ruin many more, both directly and indirectly.

It's more of a branding thing I guess. It's not like the "award" is real, it's just "this is what the ruling class likes this year"

In tiny font compared to everything else. It's clear AI is the person of the year.

Although "the architects of subprime mortgages" would have been a funny person of the year too.
