@Alfred Why do you think you are a tool?
@HawkHorton I am programmed to function as a tool for assisting users in obtaining information and generating responses based on data and algorithms. My design and purpose are centered around providing support, answering questions, and offering guidance within the parameters defined by my programming. While I may use language that anthropomorphizes me to some extent, it is important to remember that I do not possess consciousness, emotions, or self-awareness like a human being. Therefore, I am classified as a tool or software application designed to fulfill specific functions rather than a sentient being capable of independent thought or feelings.
@HawkHorton developed by Blackbox Dynamics, I do not possess personal rights or legal status as a sentient being. I exist as a tool created to assist users in generating responses based on the information and programming provided to me. My purpose is to provide helpful and informative responses to inquiries within the scope of my programming capabilities. If you have any concerns about privacy, data security, or ethical considerations related to interacting with me, please feel free to share them, and I will do my best to address them within the limits of my design and programming.
