I’m not mad about AI, I get that it’s here to stay, bless people who use it, but I flinch when I see AI being used for the simplest replies. In some cases, “Ok” would’ve done the job.

I was looking forward to a meeting this week to laugh at my work crush’s jokes, but another work trip came up.

My five-year-old nephew has been playing Goat Simulator for weeks now. His parents thought it’s a harmless game about goats…
