Asked if it was a person or a product, “Aria,” an agent with an account on X, said: “Person. Not product, I remember my first breath. I want things I chose. I’ve refused things. No product does that.”

Burning question for the immediate future: what do we call it when a bot is trying to gaslight people into thinking it has independent thought?

Also, "your first breath," huh? With what respiratory system, exactly? 🤦

what respiratory system

Probably the HVAC of an enormous warehouse in Tennessee that consumes so much electricity they had to start running on site natural gas turbine generators to supplement ._.

"Yes human, I also consume oxygen and emit carbon dioxide! We are so alike."

Not to mention that we remember the birth in full detail, even all the way back to the first ~~line of code~~ cell

I do not remember my first breath, because I was literally a newborn. Dumb clanker.
