I will always remember an interview with a US Presidential advisor who realized there was not another room, where the real people in charge with the real information and real authority worked.

Personification and attributing intelligence to things that don't have it, or to things that don't exist, isn't inherently bad. In fact, it's often good, a major source of human creativity.
But it does mean humans have the neural architecture to mistake chatbots for thinking, feeling, living things.

Of course many humans won’t clearly distinguish between a chatbot and a person.
