As someone who's maybe a little too quick to anthropomorphize any inanimate object I interact with, can I just say how glad I am that, thus far, computers mostly seem to talk in 'we' and 'you' terms instead of 'I' terms

#for clarification: I don't mean chatbots or alexa or AI-generated whatevers. They all seem to use 'I' quite comfortably #I'm talking about laptops that project messages like 'we're doing updates please don't turn off your computer'#and 'your antivirus protection has expired'#if my computer said shit like 'I'm updating give me a bit of time' and 'I have no antivirus :(' it would probably become a pet to me #not sure I can handle that tbh #computers
