a bit tangential but I've been pretty interested in "misuse" as a category as well, especially given how LLMs have been marketed as "relevant in any context"/"general use"

Our FATE MTL team has been working on a series of projects on anthropomorphic AI systems for which we recently put out a few pre-prints I’m excited about. While working on these we tried to think carefully not only about key research questions but also how we study and write about these systems

A Taxonomy of Linguistic Expressions That Contribute To Anthropomorphism of Language Technologies
Recent attention to anthropomorphism -- the attribution of human-like qualities to non-human objects or entities -- of language technologies like LLMs has sparked renewed discussions about potential n...

Especially important are challenges around the nature of language & tensions involved in shifting conceptions of human-likeness of technology. Check out Section 5.2 of the paper for more on this related to standard language ideology & risks of dehumanizing humans. arxiv.org/abs/2502.09870 3/n

Recent discussions have considered when anthropomorphism might be inappropriate. We encourage use of our taxonomy for more targeted identification and mitigation of harmful impacts stemming from anthropomorphism of language technologies. arxiv.org/abs/2502.09870 2/n

(in other news pls add me to starter packs 🥺👉👈 I do HCI research on harmful algorithmic systems & the ways that everyday people act to resist them)
