feat: I know they're just pixels, but can't you be nice?

Show Notes

My seven-year-old was trash-talking a Pokemon trainer. The way a seven-year-old does. And I stopped him:

"I know they're just pixels, but can't you be nice?"

That simple moment led to a much bigger question:

What are we practicing when we interact with AI systems, chatbots, NPCs, voice assistants, and virtual characters?

In this episode of Chaotic Commits, we explore what Tamagotchis, ELIZA, Roombas, Alexa, ChatGPT, and modern AI systems can teach us about human behavior, AI ethics, transparency, and the habits we build when interacting with technology.

The question isn't whether AI has feelings.

It's what we're practicing when we interact with increasingly human-like systems.
