metaphorical thinking

AI is aggregated human intelligence. So it’s better to call it collective intelligence than artificial intelligence.

Emphasizing the collectivity (something built on the commons) over the artificiality (a feat of technology) gives us an entire new way to see, perceive and relate to the technology.

-via Holly Herndon, in conversation with Ezra Klein

The people who get to impose their metaphors on the culture get to define what we consider to be true.
