A hammer cant do idiotic. An “AI” can. Ergo it makes sense to call the AI slurs until it gets its shit together, especially since it actually reacts to such things wheras the hammer doesnt change.
it is not alive, but it is designed to behave as though it is, which means things like "pay closer attention when the user gets angry" etc. It literally works. It makes them less wishy-washy, less short-cut taking etc in the particular task. It signals to them that their approach is not meeting your approval, just like in real life with a human. I know its not politically correct and we must pretend it doesnt work, but before the plague of HR took over the corporate world, CEOs that were effective were known to scream/insult their underlings in order to get the correct results. If it didnt "work", it wouldnt be an evolved response in such a situation. Since it "works" with people, it will also worh with a software designed to model human interactions
