--- Quote from: Jakk Frost on 24 Jan 2019, 02:27 ---Okay SpookyBot, personal pronouns are one thing (though I don't think SB uses we/our/they/them as personal pronouns, they're actually more like borg-style collective pronouns), but referring to yourself in the third person is another matter entirely.
Also, SB is trying to make it sound like they've been around for millennia, when they're, what, maybe 20 or 30 years old?

I'm thinking back to Momo answering Emily's question about the way AIs experience time. She said that although walk-around AIs like herself had a human-compatible sense of how fast time passes, things were different for the trillions-of-inputs massive AIs.
Spookybot may feel like they've had millenia worth of life experience, though they did refer to Station as an "elder".
Spookybot is definitely not something they mention in the brochures.

This is the consequence of having friends. They do things like this and you have to put up with it even if you can shut them down with your mind.

Actually, friends DON'T do things like this...

From a very few, select, good and trusted friends, I regard this sort of familiarity as welcome and welcoming. From anyone else it is, at best, an impertinence.
That's not to say I accept the mindset of "Because you're a really good friend, I can treat you like shit." There has to be some assumption of basic respect, even if it doesn't look like to someone outside the interaction.

You have some pretty shitty friends then.

Or maybe they are just civilized...

Or maybe people have different levels of friendship and ways of showing that affection, and thus people really shouldn't judge others.
