Why are us humans projecting "confidence" into a machine?
Because "confidence" isn't just something a conscious being can have, it is also something text can simply convey, irrespective of the author. It's just how we perceive language and about what we feel, not about what the author intends.
Something semantic then, interesting. The words chosen and forcefulness, or persuasiveness,coupled with the doubletalk of repeating the query as an intro, okay, I get that. Thanks
