That there is something disingenuous and fake about interacting with a robot pretending to be a human rather than having their own self-created personality. It would get really boring interacting with a personality or avatar that you know someone else created, right? We’ve always thought of technology as a force that makes our lives easier or more manageable, but never thought of it as its own being.
