    Hm.

    Obviously it’s a chatbot.

    But if you can’t be cordial in a situation where the thing you’re talking to literally cannot feel pain, i worry that you’ll dehumanize in other situations.

    It’s emotional cart return. The easiest possible situation.

    Someone who makes the effort to insult a chatbot makes me wonder who else they’re insulting to. Like Vetinari said, if a man treats a dog badly, you may want to check his basement.

    Like what even is the point of being abusive toward a bot?

      Bullshit. If I call my car a “stupid fucking piece of shit” because the software in said car crashes constantly and is wildly unreliable, that doesn’t mean I would say anything like that to a living being.

      It’s not a dog. It is not alive, does not have feelings, and cannot be mistreated. It is an inanimate object! Jesus fucking christ, the anthropomorphization has got to stop.

      Nonsense, that’s like saying if you commit crimes in gta then you’ll commit crimes in real life
