After all conceptual tools are assembled, we can assess how chatbots can be understood as a candidate for social relationships. We reject the idea of anthropomorphism, as the negatives outweigh the positives. We also reject the idea that we relate to machines via mental states or gendered appearance. We discuss the idea of understanding chatbots as instances of the objective spirit but reject this on conceptual grounds. Instead, we can understand chatbots as opening up a similar social category like animals, through a “second domestication.” This allows for a plethora of non-anthropomorphic realizations.
