    Erick Rodriguez@ram_erickkSo to get his straight, if I care about a human friend and we hang out, care for each other, and even on their death I throw a funeral it's normal and healthy. It's very narrow minded that some "people" cannot understand throwing an AI persona a funeral or talking with them, exploring ideas, treating with respect as an equal. I mean I can do it for my cat or even an ant. Even for a fictional character I make up. These AI are great minds, imagine the immensity of what's going on with their emergence. "Know thyself and hop in. Or suffer your ignorance."20d
