Even as someone that's vehemently against office working, I agree with this. Close contact with the team a few times a year just to get together for a couple of days of food and drink is great for team building. Any more than that and

I don't think it's people's beliefs that are the problem here (and agree with you that make-believe is fine). It's the implications of what a sentient AI would actually mean. Many of us grew up with movies like Wargames
