I have worked in two places where inanimate objects were given name badges and treated as coworkers. One being a giant pink naked chicken that made a horrendous death scream when you squeezed it (Kitchen Chicken) and a rag doll scarecrow left over from last years fall inventory in a grocery store that we now refuse to sell (Madeline)
I can only imagine the humanization that would occur if either thing showed even the slightest bit of sentience.
I know I’d wanna give it a pat and call it a good bot like a proper redditor would.
