No, I was responding to your comment, and your comment only, which is why I quoted you. I'm not conflating anything. Your tangent about "irrational fear" is what I was responding to, there's nothing more I can add to make that clearer.

You mention video games. In a video game, the interactions via voice chat, or text chat are person to person. I am not aware of any politicians calling that "fake". It's not related though, as online multiplayer gaming is a sub-set of a specific type of digital activity, whereas AI and bots and voice recognition is all-pervasive. It will be everywhere, and deserves scrutiny because you won't need to be a "gamer" to be exposed to this technology. IMHO it's vital we continuously examine the ethical concerns.
