I've been having an interesting debate with myself about Clanker Ethics. On one hand, I am 100% against treating robots or AI with respect, since they are inanimate entities, and treating them with respect only conditions me to accept them, rather than conditions them to protect me.

On the other hand, I feel like allowing myself to treat ANYTHING else with a lack of respect, ultimately makes me less of a decent person. How you behave eventually become who you are.

OTOH, the few times I've tried to use CoPilot for something, I've ended up screaming at it. It is the most incompetent "employee" I've ever experienced, and if it was real, I would have fired it multiple times. I treat it exactly like I would treat any other incompetent employee who seems to think they can get away without doing a job just by asking me a zillion irrelevant questions, and avoiding the actual work for as long as possible, and then getting it wrong again and again anyway. I'd yell at THAT human, so why shouldn't I yell at an equally incompetent AI?
