its a hammer, do you teach the kids to thank their tools?
I understand teaching the children respect and how to behave, but AI and Siri/Alexa are just tools. They don't need to be anthropomorphizing ai, IMO that is dangerous on a humanity level scale.
Kondo literally has you thanking items for their service as a way to uncouple and declutter. "Humans will pack bond with anything" is a trope for a reason.
It's about your humanity, not the machine's
