  No. The answer is only no.

    Especially to a device that only interacts with me when I’m setting a timer or yelling over the too-loud music for it to shut the fuck up. That sounds nothing like a family member.

      Depends on how lousy your family is, I think. Actually, it sounds kind of like a stereotypical teenager of years past: never talking to parents and blasting loud music all the time.

  A family member with no inherent moral compass or empathy, whose eyes, ears, thoughts and agency belong to teams of trained profit-seekers in a different country.

  I disapprove of this humanization of software.

  Sure, if that family member is just deaf enough to mishear everything and has the functional intelligence of a cabbage.
