The analogous situation to what you are advocating is to see a child and then, without saying a word to the Parent, whisk that child off to surgery for an hours, maybe a day long, procedure.

These Artificial Intelligence researchers are demanding that we show their A.I. bots empathy, reciprocity, and trust and don’t understand why we humans refuse to do so.
