I love this and…also…it makes me sad. But it’s a familiar sadness? And feels…imminent. Well done!

Haha I love this! "But it was really a dumping ground for the feelings humans found too heavy to carry." Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but is this commentary on using chatbots as a therapy tool?

Thank you so much for reading so deeply. Yes, I was thinking of how we have already offloaded so much to AI and machines regarding our mental health and emotional intelligence. The burden of feeling seemed like a ‘logical’ conclusion. So glad you followed that thread. Appreciate you being here!

Haunting and sad in its own way. Many are already outsourcing feelings to robots, albeit in a less literal way.

Jacqueline's avatar

Yes exactly. Thank you for reading and leaving such a thoughtful comment. 🖤
