True, but also keep in mind that most people get offended by the slightest thing. So much so that we have setup rules on how to behave between us. We call it etiqueté. Once we lose that we will be at each other's throats soon after. Kids are the real issue. How do you say to them by our actions that it's OK to be cruel and rude to some? The alternative is a society where cruelty is ok for some. Unfortunately,"some" will eventually be other humans.
AI is a thing with 0 feelings but it's not IT that we need to protect. It's the future society and how the humans in it relate to each other.
