I love the technology, but I really don't want AI to sound like this.

Imagine being stuck on a call with this.

> "Hey, so like, is there anything I can help you with today?"

> "Talk to a person."

> "Oh wow, right. (chuckle) You got it. Well, before I connect you, can you maybe tell me a little bit more about what problem you're having? For example, maybe it's something to do with..."



That's how the DJ feature of Spotify talks and it's pretty jarring.

"How's it going. We're gonna start by taking you back to your 2022 favorites, starting with the sweet sounds of XYZ". There's very little you can tweak about it, the suggestions kinda suck, but you're getting a fake friend to introduce them to you. Yay, I guess..


Reminds me of the robots from the Sirius cybernetics corporation. “Your plastic pal who’s fun to be with.”
