Anthropomorphism is the tendency to attribute human characteristics to non-human entities, such as machines or animals. In the case of\u00a0chatbots<\/em>\u00a0, such as\u00a0ChatGPT, Gemini<\/a>\u00a0or Copilot, this phenomenon occurs when they imitate human language to communicate with us. Not only do they use understandable and familiar words and phrases, but they also adopt\u00a0human-specific communication patterns<\/a>\u00a0. In this way, they manage to maintain contextual and coherent conversations and can even show humor and empathy.<\/p>\n

This design of machine language seeks to make interaction with machines natural, fluid and accessible. This facilitates their use in different applications, from customer service to education\u00a0and<\/a>\u00a0entertainment.<\/p>\n

Until now, language was considered to be an exclusive human capacity. However, advances in generative artificial intelligence are leading us to reconsider this idea.<\/p>\n

One of the most distinctive features of human language is subjectivity, which manifests itself in the choice of emotionally charged words and in the expression of personal opinions. It also appears in the evaluation of events and in the use of contextual and cultural elements.<\/p>\n

The impact of the first person<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When a machine simulates being human in communication, important\u00a0ethical and psychological implications<\/a>\u00a0arise . These interactions can influence how we perceive and relate to technology.<\/p>\n

A typical feature of human subjectivity in language is the use of personal pronouns. The first person (such as \u201cI\u201d and \u201cwe\u201d) allows one to express one\u2019s own thoughts and experiences. The second person (such as \u201cyou\u201d and \u201cyou all\u201d) involves the interlocutor, building a relationship between the participants of the conversation. In human interaction, this is called intersubjectivity.<\/p>\n

Let’s consider an example.<\/p>\n
