seeing how people are using chatbots in their everyday lives continues to solidify my faith in the importance of process and thought, sometimes to no end but themselves, over the sensation of 'satisfaction' itself. if one is overcome with grief and unable to form a eulogy for a friend, the silence itself is meaningful. why smother it with a made to order generated message that says what retroactively feel you "wanted to say". a greeting card impulse is what it is. the images are ugly and annoying but this is the far more insidious side of our cultural moment. the premature evacuation from thought at the first sign of turbulence. i don't like it
