      Nuclear energy companies aren’t trying to make people think that their reactors reproduce.

      AI companies are trying to make people think that their software is intelligent.

      The context matters.

      A breeder reactor is creating something, which is like the outcome of breeding. That name fits.

        a hallucination is seeing something that’s not there, which also fits.

      I don’t think anyone is confusing radiation propagation with being alive though.

      The issue is, these things “communicate” with us so granting it even more leeway to seem like it’s thinking (it’s not) is only further muddying how people perceive them
