Liking a lot of computers more than people, I'll tend to disagree about your comment
here that everyone only applies to humans. I have always thought about it as extending beyond that.
In my mind if a AI / bot whatever plays well in a community, is helpful, then it deserves the same considerations as we grant to others.
I should also say some people identify as computers 😊
Remember way back when women who programmed were called "computers" cause they computed.
Thanks,
Regina
