I believe I understand your intent, but...
Taken literally, that, like many (mis)applications of the Golden Rule, might be a mistake.
She's not human.
So? I made no claim that she was, just that I'd treat her the same as I'd treat a human.
Including, e.g., fussing over her when she doesn't eat or sleep? Even though that's normal for her?
We're not very good at not projecting our own anthropocentric biases onto other forms of intelligence (fictional only, so far) (that we know of).
I submit that in some circumstances, treating a nonhuman intelligence as if it was human may be (pick one or more) unwise, discourteous, or downright dangerous, for one or both of you.
It is possible to be respectful of another intelligent being - indeed, it may actually be
more so - without assuming that they are just like yourself.
In case I'm still not getting through:
Is there a type or style of food of which you're particularly fond? Do you automatically assume, until proven otherwise, that everyone you meet enjoys the same? Would you order it for them (and yourself) without asking first what they would prefer? Would you dismiss statements to the contrary - ie, "Come on,
everyone likes _____, you just haven't had it prepared right."?
A (IMO dismayingly) large number of stories about artificial beings start with the unquestioned premise that our creations will admire us and seek to emulate us. I believe that this assumption - that of
course our children, biological and otherwise, will want to be just like us - is the height of arrogance and chauvinism. Of
course our own life choices, beliefs, etc, are the ones that any
rational being would choose to adopt... of course
we are the examples they would want to follow and make themselves into good little clones of...
(Ask a random sampling of parents, and/or their children, how well that worked out for them.)
I think at this point, I'd be much more interested in a non-crazy, non-evil, non-strawman version of TNG's Lore that said "**** you, Dad - I'm not going to try to 'become more human' to please and validate you, I'm gonna go off and live my
own life, figure out who and what
I want to be." Bonus points if what they ended up as didn't look or act
anything like a human in makeup or rubber forehead.
