After an extraordinary 322 days at sea, nearly a year away from their loved ones, the sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are finally home! 🇺🇸 These sailors and their families have sacrificed so much. They deserve every hug, every tear, and every bit of this incredible homecoming. WELCOME HOME!

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
