"Sorry son, but us humans have beaten you to the name human way back. Doesn't matter that your the same, but you can't be a human. How about neo-human? Its just as good." We're programmers as much as someone 10 years ago are programmers. Hey, many of us were programmers back then as well. Its a false distinction that has a definition only within the minds of those who want to make the distinction.
