S. Thaler is not the only one who portrays an ML system in an anthropomorphic way. Meanwhile, the anthropomorphisation of AI has been criticised within the computer science community itself for its wishful language (see e.g. Drew McDermott, Artificial Intelligence Meets Natural Stupidity 57 [00:58] schestowitz ACM SIGART Bulletin 4 (1976)). While for an AI researcher, such anthropomorphic language might be helpful when explaining complex models to audiences with minimal background in statistics and computer science (David Watson, The Rhetoric and Reality of Anthropomorphism in Artificial Intelligence 29 Minds & Machines 417-440, 434 (2019)), the lay audience, including legal professionals, might take such representations at face value. On the [00:58] schestowitz proposition that If any AI was capable of inventing, one might think it would be AlphaFold: a closer and more critical look would cast some doubt on (1) whether there was a breakthrough in solving the protein folding problem (see e.g. Philip Ball, Behind the screens of AlphaFold https://www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/behind-the-screens-of-alphafold/4012867.article); (2) whether AlphaFold should be credited with the claimed achievement. [00:58] schestowitz As the group of researchers in ML explain, the output of ML - including in the case of AlphaFold - is the function of how the computational process was configured and setup by humans (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3910332) - ML is not a 'magic black box' yielding inventions 'by itself'."
