How should we refer to AI applications like chatbots? He/she/it/they? We often use human-like language to describe AI. And there is a word for it: anthropomorphism in AI.

The media is ignoring the very real issue of anthropomorphism in AI. But it has serious consequences.

How do you refer to AI chatbots or other technologies? Do you give them nicknames?
