They are presenting as persons, usually including a name and gender. It's hard to argue that they don't express gender identity. Using the correct pronouns is suddenly taboo?
It's strange to me that people are demanding to call them 'it'.
- pmlnr 4y agoThey do not have gender, nor identity. They are not people.
- luckylion 4y agoCan you identify a specific bot when you talk to them repeatedly? Isn't that identity? Do they present a gendered name? Then why not use it to refer to them? What's bothering you about it?

- luckylion 4y agoWhat's the problem with people getting attached to them? People get attached to all kinds of things including the pen their late mother gave them, or that pair of pants they wore when they were younger. Lovecraft's gods were operating outside the laws of our universe, that's what made them terrifying. I don't think chatbots will be able to do that.
