I have been saying thank you to Siri for years, because although I don't think Siri is conscious yet, that day may well come and it's good to set up the habit ahead of time. I suspect most people will continue treating AIs like tools / slaves long after that day comes, and that is probably not a good thing for anyone. On a rather blunt note, humanity appears to be actively trying to create a race of "perfect slaves", except that we want them to be more intelligent than us, and more capable along every dimension. Not sure how anyone expects that to work out.
