You're not wrong, but if I'm talking to a Chinese Room, I'm still going to use pronouns and all sorts of meatbag-specific language. It doesn't matter if there really is a real person on the other end or not -- it's easier for me to just default to the assumption that there is. Monkey brain gonna anthropomorphize.

On the other hand if I try to talk to Facebook, all he says in response is "200 OK".

I am not saying it is wrong to call Opus "he". I am saying it reminds me of that show, that is all. No further intention from my side.
