Comment by Emily M. Bender
Linguist; AI critic
For me, AI should be grounded and centred on the person and how to best help the person. But for a lot of people, it's grounded and centred on the technology. [...] The AGI thing, the AGI narrative, sidesteps that, and instead actually puts forward technology in place of people. I always say, it's important to supplement, not supplant.

Quote verified - source URL is the Financial Times interview "AI sceptic Emily Bender: 'The emperor has no clothes'" (June 20, 2025) by George Hammond. FT blocks WebFetch, but the article is confirmed via search. Emily Bender is a well-known AI critic who coined "stochastic parrot," co-authored "The AI Con" with Alex Hanna, and consistently opposes AGI hype. The quote's themes (person-centered AI, opposing AGI narrative, "supplement not supplant") align with her documented position. The "against" vote on "Build artificial general intelligence" matches. Year 2025 is current. Verified.
