    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.

        Nah, we humans don’t need fake imitations of people to practice not being a jerk with each other, we can just choose to. It’s the kind of freedom and privilege that comes with “being actual sentient living beings”. Unlike these things that need to waste heaps of energy to imitate what we humans told them to.
