interesting people feel fairly comfortable insulting or lying to a bot publicly

like lght pointed out, very similar signal to how people treat service workers

Even more interesting (IMO) that people feel comfortable insulting or lying to *another human* publicly

too many people are cruel, especially when they think there will be fewer consequences.

bots aren't people and hackers even in the traditional tinkerer sense will try to hack them.

watching how people interact with ai is so exposing

a direct feed to their conscious state of mind

remember the videos of Boston Dynamic kicking their bipedal bots?

it’s that, with words

in 2017 I created a PoC for an IT support chatbot for the company I worked at (very simple rules-based thing). It was released to a very small population. I could see all of the conversations.
Almost everyone started insulting it and my first update to it had to be a profanity filter and a rule that said "I ll have to report this to HR". 
Interesting to see that behaviour hasn't changed.

Interesting... you like putting a bot in an echo chamber publicly
