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

There is no need to anthropomorphize the bots. Bots may be intelligent but they're not sentient. not even close.

Saying that how one treats a bot is how one would treat service workers is similar to saying is like saying that you have murderous tendencies if you murder random NPCs in GTA or play violent games.

How one treats a bot simply reflects the level to which they anthropomorphize it.
