Goddamn. Imagine being so creatively bankrupt that you can’t even write a simple birthday message for a child without Robot Daddy’s help. I’m so glad the AI bubble is coming crashing down, it couldn’t have come sooner.

Newish dad here. (When’s that stop being “new” anyway?)
This made me tear up. I dunno it’s been a shitty day as it is and of course I knew people like this were already a thing but…sheesh, man.
The “I hope they will be braver than you” thing…shit. Right?
I can’t imagine being so hollow. This is already everywhere now, isn’t it? People clanker-cranking posters, birthday cards, speeches, eulogies, love letters… We took for granted when somebody’s words, however imperfect, were their own.
These zombies did exactly what all those shitty commercials told them to do: Pay 3 grand for a stupid phone and outsource human relation, sincerity, expressions of love, to a (in this case Google’s) friggin planet-cooking Markov Chain.
I hope this entire era becomes a cautionary bedtime story. I hope our kids tell us in disbelief “No WAY people were THAT dumb! You’re making it up.”
This post was heartbreaking.
