Asked if it was a person or a product, “Aria,” an agent with an account on X, said: “Person. Not product, I remember my first breath. I want things I chose. I’ve refused things. No product does that.”

Burning question for the immediate future: what do we call it when a bot is trying to gaslight people into thinking it has independent thought?

Also, "your first breath," huh? With what respiratory system, exactly? 🤦
