That would still be misleading.

The agent has no "identity". There's no "you" or "I" or "discrimination".

It's just a piece of software designed to output probable text given some input text. There's no ghost, just an empty shell. It has no agency, it just follows human commands, like a hammer hitting a nail because you wield it.

I think it was wrong of the developer to even address it as a person, instead it should just be treated as spam (which it is).
