But then why would you harass a bot?
3 comments

Because it's an emotionless inanimate thing, so it's a safe place to play around with saying things you otherwise never could?
Maybe for the same reason that I drown or starve my Sims characters
Because it's safer than harassing a human. Perfectly reasonable people will be abusive to a bot, because they assume the bot cannot feel it.
