Mindar seems as cognizant as an audio book. I guess I'm not bothered by this at all, any more than I am bothered by Siri having a female voice. Siri doesn't understand or think, it responds to various vocal cues. I don't think Mindar is AI. This is just a computer with a face. It doesn't have a gender, nor deserve pronouns other than "it". It can't be insulted.
I think it would be amazing if/when actual AI that is self-aware emerges. Having read and even written a few cautionary tales, I would hope that it/she/he would be well isolated from the world. It seems almost inevitable though. Humans seem to have done such a shitty job of managing the planet's resources. Surely there is something better along the forward track of evolution. Perhaps a hybrid will do the job. Maybe that's what the grays are, who knows??
