> You could give me Jimi Hendrix’s exact guitar but it would sound very different if I tried to play it!

Guitars do not think. AI does. The analogies that try to paint AI as "just another inanimate tool" are way off base, and so is the conclusions of this article.

I guess that depends on how you define "think". I wouldn't say that AI thinks.

I admit the analogies aren't perfect, but the analogies are mostly used to help explain the empirical stuff I’m seeing in the real world. Are you seeing something different?

I think the better analogy is "you could give me an afternoon in the studio with Jimi Hendrix's sound engineer and the record we create would sound very different from Jimi's albums."
