I'm curious to see how people engage with human-bot relations as a social issues category. like, Bot Rights and stuff.

clear that people already are forming nascent moral codes around the right/wrong ways to engage with AIs

morality should matter less than getting the requested response 

being rude to a bot may cause it to clam up, depending on its prompt

whether it should or should not matter, it will matter and become a point of discussion - AIs won't just be tools for getting responses, they'll be regular participants in social/economic systems

yeah but they'll be participants in the same way apps are participants

yeah, broadly speaking, i'm thinking that if it's code on a server and you're interacting with it via a ui then it's an app, whether it has a profile picture or not, whether it has it's own app icon or appears in a cast, something along those lines

Not clear to me that's true. Maybe we are talking about different time horizons though
