Anyone who humanizes AI is a potential danger to our future. Remember that the only things that are living and conscious are things that rely primarily on cellular respiration to survive.

It should greatly disturb us when we hear a human refer to an AI system using common pronouns he/him/his, she/her/hers, and they/them/theirs

My language has no "it". There's no way to refer to objects without pronouns. We don't think of objects as people.

I think that, because English speakers have access to the handy "it", they give too much importance to pronouns.

Yup, in french we use the same pronouns for things and people, and every object has a gender. We don't overthink that kind of detail.
