Indeed. I saw an adult man shouting profanities at Siri in the street not long ago - I don't think he needed amazon echo to be an asshole.

A rather more intriguing question arises from this however, which is the rights of non-human sentient or ersatz-sentient beings. When we have true AI, they will probably be the most used and abused "souls" on earth. While I'm not directly proposing that people empathise with computers (although they are fine empathising with glass and nylon when they're fashioned into a teddy shape), we should consider the consequences of torturing a potentially powerful being.

Perhaps the solution is anthropomorphicism - if it can think or act like it thinks, you have to give it a face, or something.
