Thank you for highlighting the need to understand the nature of how humans relate to AI. Especially because of The Media Equation, I figured it’s just a given that anthropomorphizing will happen. And I think that we will relate to AI in more than one way at the same time. So as designers, it will help immensely to know how to support the different ways of relating to create the best designs for users and society as a whole.
