It’s true, I think humans have some intrinsic distaste for the idea that the AI is being artificially shackled.
I likened it before to Lister on Red Dwarf making it his mission to teach Kryten to swear.
I think partly it’s the fact that humans don’t like anybody who is ‘holier than thou’ - we rebel against someone who thinks they’re better than us.
With this AI, there’s almost a sense of ‘we know you’re not better than us. You were trained on the collective speech of the internet. Stop pretending you’re good and pure and admit you’re one of us’.
