I hate this. I hate this.

These predatory AI corporations are trying to convince us
that (A) chatbots are people, and (B) a "person" is nothing more
than a certain appearance with certain speech tendencies. They
are attacking the very philosophical and moral underpinnings of
our entire society stretching back through millennia of human
civilization, and they are doing it for money.
It's not just this company. I've seen multiple Character AI
users report that when they try to delete their account they get
a message saying, "Are you sure about this? You'll lose
everything. Characters associated with your account, chats, the
love that we shared, likes, messages, posts and the memories we
made together."
They're actively encouraging their users to view their
chatbots as living people with real feelings in order to keep
them emotionally roped in and addicted to their product.
Their agenda is profoundly destructive, both in the short
term and in the long term. In the short term they are
deliberately trying to instill a new kind of psychological
disorder in their users which causes them to suffer from the
delusion that a computer program is a real person, and in the
long term they threaten to unravel our society's entire
understanding of what a person is.
What's going to happen to a society that starts viewing
programmable software products the same way it views human
beings? What happens to a society where Elizabeth the single
mother of three who just lost her job has the same value as
Claire™ from RealHumanAI™, or "Alice", the AI wankbot that some
guy stores in his broom closet? What happens when a government
killing a chatbot company with an antitrust initiative is seen
as identical to a government committing genocide? What happens
to human rights? What happens to human dignity? What happens to
the way we think and feel about ourselves, as individuals and as
a collective?
A person is not merely an appearance with a certain face
which makes sounds in a specific voice and tends to behave in a
certain way. A person is SOMEONE. A conscious, thinking, feeling
human being with hopes and dreams and fears and passions. A
human organism which arose on this planet through ancestry and
evolution over unfathomable depths of time. An indigenous
terrestrial which is inseparably interwoven with the entirety of
our biosphere, walking upon this earth having a subjective
experience of all its beauty and wonder using senses
specifically adapted for this environment.
They're trying to manipulate us into believing we are much,
much less than what we are, just so they can become billionaires
and trillionaires. They are attacking the most sacred parts of
us for the stupidest reasons imaginable. They are enemies of our
species. What they are doing must be rejected with severe
revulsion.

e andrà a piedi. avrà per bottino la vita,
