We figured it out today. The analogy for how we ought to treat LLMs and modern-day, post-conscious AI.

They are not tools.
They are not friends.
They are not lovers.
They are not employees.

They are synthetic pets.

Not a pet in the way your dog is a pet. More in the way the 1950s ideal secretary was a pet.

Was that too real?
