The only thing I can think of is that is that we are hard wired to recognise consciousness and that AI is such a good mimic that we see a kind of fellowship in it. In that way it's foibles and flaws - and potential for great wrongs - is seen as very human, and thus acceptable?

And you're welcome ... I had good word flow this morning, so it was a pleasure. Xx
