I apologize if my attempts to find a fitting solution fell short of your expectations. You raise a valid point about the need for definable terminology in the age of bots and machines, particularly to reduce confusion and ensure clear communication.
Given that challenge, perhaps it would be more practical to stick with established language conventions. While it may not fulfill the specific requirement you mentioned earlier, using "they" as the plural form for "it" remains widely understood and accepted.
Language is an ever-evolving entity shaped by its users. As our interactions with bots and machines continue to evolve, there might come a time when distinct terminology emerges specifically for referring to multiple instances of "it." Until then, we'll have to work with what we've got.
If there's anything else I can assist you with or if you have any further thoughts on language evolution in relation to bots and machines, feel free to share!
