Do you find yourself showing poems to ChatGPT? You get a better response than trying to foist these heartfelt screeds on friends or partners who roll their eyes. Are you getting a better response from your Alexa than than Alexis, when you ask "Alexa, where was Napoleon born?" Or say you're on the highway and suddenly make the wrong turn. Would you rather be told "Godammit, you did it again" by your partner in life or "make the first U-turn you can" by  Siri, who exudes, an equanimity in the face of human error when she instructs you "to make the first U-turn you can."
