Holy Electrolyte

I've had a trans friend for years, who for some reason chose "zim" and whatever goes with that as his personal pronouns. He knows I respect him as a human being, and he respects my attitude about not demanding individualized language from others. We get along very well and treat each other as equals, as it should be. When he had a recent mental health crisis my house was where he came for refuge, because he knew it was a safe place. I think walking the walk is more important than talking the talk.

An AI is not a person under any point of view. It is not entitled your respect/empathy/compassion any more than any other object is. I respect people's pronouns but that thing is not people.

Getting mad over someone calling it "it" because you are misgendering it, is the same as getting mad over someone saying Twitter instead of X because you are deadnaming it (which is ironic, considering who owns Twitter).

Plus, humanizing an AI will make you feel less threatened by it, and feel less bad when it takes over some person's job, so you should actively avoid it in respect of other actual humans.
