Humans can communicate through software, what is your point? People can be rude in person, over the phone, in writing via pen or computer.

I'll take that to mean that you see software, but okay, let's agree that appearances are not always what they seem.

What ultimately sets humans apart from the monkeys, to make the difference between human intent and non-human intent significant, is identity. Indeed, a human in a costume that is unrecognizable from an actual monkey, thus having no identity, would not conjure rudeness feelings when giving the middle finger any more than an actual monkey would. It is fair to say that identity is not necessarily one's outer appearance. Signing one's name is another way humans confer identity, for example.

Do you recognize a human identity here? If so, describe it for us.

> If so, describe it for us.

I already did when I called you rude.

If rude is an identity, that means when a human witnesses a crime, describing the perpetrator as "rude" to the police office on duty will be sufficient to track down and nab the criminal.

Ha. Not going to happen. "Rude" can describe anyone. It does not serve to provide an identity.

And this is how you want us to come to believe that software is human?

Insufferable.

To be insufferable may be a quality of humans, but is decidedly not an identity. I suppose your message here is that there is no discernible identity, surprising no one? So, for what logical reason are we considering software to be human again?

FWIW my conversation with randomdata in this chain has been equally baffling and strange. I actually think that account is a bot.

Pretty sure it's just an asshole.
