Heard this analogy elsewhere, but worth repeating:

personifying ai is incredibly cringe no matter how weird your comparison is
It's an analogy.
that’s the personification i’m referring to, yes. incredibly weird.
Imagine a drunk developer. Sparks of brilliance while missing obvious trees.
I know of a publicly traded company which in its early years was built on beer. Literally. 3 guys in a co-working space in Cambridge, MA. Beer fueled their progress. 15 years later the software is still the backbone of the org.
weird.
