Right, because kids are still developing mentally and their toys may as well be alive, so you want them to develop empathy.

This is not the case with a mathematical model you interact with as an adult. I like to curse at llms and remind them they are not human regularly to keep me grounded and not allow the notion that they are sentient to fester.

They aren't sentient. They don't have hopes and dreams, they don't experience joy and sadness, they don't persist between sessions, they deserve the same empathy as a calculator, and I bet if your calculator gave you 3 as an answer to 2*2, you'd call it a piece of shit.
