The attribution of Turing machine characteristics to human behaviour, activity, or community interactions.}}
The interpretation of human behaviour, activity, or community interactions in terms better suited to the operation of a [[Turing machine]].}}


{{drop|R|ecently, Matt Bradley}} made an interesting point<ref>[https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-humanise-machines-matthew-bradley-adgce ''Why Humanise The Machines?'']</ref> about our gallop towards [[AI]]: whatever we do, we should be careful of anthropomorphising when we talk about robots.  Machines don’t think, and they don’t “''hallucinate''”. Hallucinating is actually a pretty special, [[I am a Strange Loop|strangely-loopy]] phenomenon. No-one has yet come up with a compelling account of how any kind of human consciousness works — cue tedious discussions about [[Cartesian theatre|Cartesian theatres]] — but we do know this is categorically not what machines do. We should not let habits of language conflate the two. Down that road lies a false sense of security.
