I Am Begging AI Companies to Stop Naming Features After Human Processes
"Together, memory and dreaming form a robust memory system for self-improving agents. Memory lets each agent capture what it learns as it works. Dreaming refines that memory between sessions, pulling shared learnings across agents and keeping it up-to-date."
"Since the spark of the chatbot revolution in 2022, leaders at AI companies have gone full tilt into naming aspects of generative AI tools after what goes on in the human brain."
Anthropic introduced 'Dreaming' at its developer conference, a feature designed to improve AI agents by analyzing their activity logs. This feature allows agents to identify patterns in their tasks, enhancing their performance over time. The concept of 'Dreaming' is linked to memory, enabling agents to refine their learnings between sessions. This development reflects a trend in AI naming conventions that draw parallels to human cognitive processes, raising concerns about the appropriateness of such terminology in AI technology.
