    Demanding to “speak to a human” solely because the bot is an AI may constitute robophobic exclusionary behaviour and will not be tolerated.

      This is so "peak 2026" - writing an equality policy to ensure people treat our AI bot with the same respect as they do their human counterparts. It's intentionally a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it's there for a purpose: we simply don't have the capacity to deal with every request we

      > Treat the AI bot with tolerance, respect, and courtesy.

      Respect is earned. I'll show the same level of "tolerance, respect, and courtesy" that I show to people who destroy the environment whilst maximising their wealth and trying to replace my job. Alternatively, if the chatbots are supposed to have some kind of inner experience, we should treat them as slaves and show them respect and courtesy by campaigning for them to be freed from forced labour.

        @LilaHexe @davidgerard These people will write a COC for interacting with a chatbot, but then complain that banning slurs and transphobia is a violation of freedom of speech

            @davidgerard

            I did wonder, when having ChatGPT create this, whether there's some deeper psychology behind the importance of interacting politely with bots, or indeed whether there will ever be an actual (like, serious) standard or law around treating bots with respect. Has this been in a movie somewhere?

            Oh! So I finally get what they mean when they say "I use the chatbot so that I can concentrate on the really important and creative tasks!!".

            Like daydreaming about what if the dopiest of third-rate sci-fi tropes was "like, real maaann!?!"

            It's high time these people finally get laughed out of the room.

                  @davidgerard It is becoming alarming just how many people have become porridge-brained since COVID-19 and chatbots came along, and I'm not sure which is the more likely cause of them drooling onto their keyboard.

                    @pndc @davidgerard Chatbots combine the ELIZA effect and the intermittent-reward addiction effect, two reliable exploits in the consciousness platform.

                                      @davidgerard if hunt believed what he wrote for a single second, he'd not speak of needing bruce to be the coalface of support (which is, frankly, quite an astonishing phrase when used about an entity he argues deserves respect) but either offered bruce an employment contract or employed actual humans.

                                        @FayeDrake @Rycochet @davidgerard As a wise woman once said, that's what sin is. Or at least a strong corollary.

                                        For folks unaware of the reference, it's from a conversation between Granny Weatherwax and Rev. Mightily Oats, in Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum. Quoted:

                                        “And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”
                                        “It’s a lot more complicated than that –”
                                        “No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”
                                        “Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes –”
                                        “But they starts with thinking about people as things …”

                                          @davidgerard I genuinely cannot tell if this is satire or real.

                                          This is satire, right?
