Hello again, Steve,
Thanks for cleaning up the formatting, and I actually do appreciate that you presented this experiment.
If I was really into it, I would dismantle the poem and the AI critique, but I'd rather concentrate my mental energy on the ideas of actual flesh and blood people.
That's not to say that I don't talk to machines (computer, TV, etc), it's just that I've always been glad that they haven't answered. I rue the day when my car will object to the muscic I'm playing, or chastise me for rolling down the windows when the AC or heat are on. Or my fridge will tell me I'm out of butter. Or my robot dog will bark at the robot vacumn cleaner. I'm perfectly screwed up enough with messy reality. Let AI (eventually) ruin human existence for someone else.
I am grateful that I won't live long enough to feel that I need to activate something like ALEXA. In fact, I feel sorry for any real person named Alexa.
Mark
