Youtube has been serving me videos of these gadgets that are like “personal AI assistants” for people who want to carry around an extra device that is just chatGPT with a voice prompt. It’s a super weird niche because we already have phones that do the same thing. It just seems like maybe they’re just kickstarter scams for gadget nerds who are bricked up over AI.

Anyways, every time I see one of these things, my cursed brain goes immediately to “god, what if I was dating someone and they had just gotten this thing after having preordered the kickstarter 6 months ago. Now they’re trying to find every possible excuse to use it in order to justify getting it.”

We’re at a restaurant and he’s like, “what are the best qualities in a carbonara,” or whatever.

Please help me escape this mental prison. Why am I doing this to myself?

    What if they stop you mid sentence and then hold out their hand and start making all these weird hand gestures. They’re clearly struggling to navigate the UI, but they smile feebly and say “this is the future I’m telling you babe” and proceed to go on the rest of the night trying to justify the awful UI designstop-posting-amogus
