A seemingly small detail that really bothers me about this story is that those glorified chatbots were given backstories like they are actual humans - in their bios they have things like "an acoustics engineering student at AGH [local university]" or "passionate about queer issues". And... can a chatbot have a student id? I somehow doubt that AGH has ever issued an id for a bot. Can a chatbot be "passionate" about real issues that real queer people face (especially in a country like Poland which, while it's been getting better on LGBT+ rights, is still one of the worse places in the EU to be queer) and should it pretend like it has faced these things too? That seems like a horrible idea.
