There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your cynicism.

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

OK, gather 'round, kiddies - let's do a "why are lawyers like this" thread. Specifically, let's do a "why does the simplest software come with mandatory IP licenses that assert claims to all the rights you have in the universe, up to and possibly not excluding in your firstborn offspring.

The final magikarp before the storm

Personification and attributing intelligence to things that don't have it, or to things that don't exist, isn't inherently bad. In fact, it's often good, a major source of human creativity. But it does mean humans have the neural architecture to mistake chatbots for thinking, feeling, living things.

Human beings personify and grow emotionally attached to pets, drawings, even inanimate objects that don’t look like living things. They attribute thoughtful personalities to trees; find little robots cute and childlike. Of course many humans won’t clearly distinguish between a chatbot and a person.
