One resists having her illegal chimp seized by faking its death, terrified that the chimp will be miserable at the sanctuary because it no longer knows how to behave like a chimpanzee. It is finally released to the sanctuary, where it immediately thrives by...behaving like a chimpanzee.

We treat computers like those mauled people treated their chimp. Writers, your job is to tell the truth and expose lies. So do not do this. When quoting or citing a person or corporation speaking as if a computer has feelings, or ideas, etc., point out, parenthetically, that this is not true.
