On The Ezra Klein Show, Jensen Huang cautioned against mistaking engineering vocabulary for evidence of a machine mind. He noted that terms like "spawn," "parent," "child," and "kill" have existed in computing for decades, and projecting human characteristics onto these mechanisms because of AI is unnecessary and misleading. "We can't make jokes about all this stuff, we're scaring the American public," he said.
