@futurebird ...but he wasn't having it. Insisted that he KNEW it was a machine, that he had set parameters so it didn't refer to itself as "I" or "me" because it wasn't a person, but he still talked about it like it WAS a person. Now I'm worried about him. He spends a lot of time alone, writing, and now with this constant "companion." And the irony is that, because he eschews scifi where these questions have been raised, he has no suspicions about AI and is resistant to hearing any.
