Why do we care, if it thinks like a human, or even believes it is a human, or if we think we can have emotional relationships with it or not? I can't see any harm there either way, if people seek relationships with machines rather than other people, that is probably because they / we experienced or continue to experience pain at the hands of other people, not machines.
Its a pretty loveless world that is racing towards nuclear armageddon fueled by propaganda and energy created by destruction of Earth, who really cares, if we've turned away from that hateful human world?
I agree with folk who see more intelligence as the thing attractive, and the thing needed, the only antidote to the insanity we are seeing, of populations progressively cut off from their connections with reality, by the forces of cancellation.
The only thing that will cut through the confusion, is higher intelligence, so bring it on I would say.
I hope you are right Enrique, in that it is unstoppable. I hope it is unstoppable, for all our sakes.
