    Serious question, at which point in their development do we start considering “beep-boop” jokes racist? Like, I’m dead serious.

    Is it when they reach true sentience? Or is it just plain racist anyway, because it’s a joke which started as a mockery of fictional AI mannerisms?

        Fair enough, guess I’m anthropomorphising AI a bit too much!

        But, yes, that was my intended message, the point when it gains critical mass as a discriminatory concept.
