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

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

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
