Some of his exact examples happened for me long ago: i dont answer phone calls anymore, and feel dumb paying for a phone number.
I also have some kind of mental disorder where i see a trend and extrapolate it out in my mind very quickly: the first time i got no replies except a single prostitute on a dating website I realized I can never touch this terrible system again.
The TV show "Sunny" (mild spoiler) has an interesting idea that they made this friend-bot to try and coax people out of isolation... but i only see that as a real hard kick in the face if this thing is faking love and devotion and you are thrust right back into a world of transactionalism and the truth that some people will never be lovable
I've used it logged in, logged out.
I've clicked to "stop showing me this channel" / "im not interested in" etc..
And without fail, it starts showing Maher/Rogan/Peterson/blah blah blah stuff. Which is fine if that's what I wanted, but I'm watching like.. SNL clips, some comedians and movie trailers. And have proactively expressed I don't want to see Rogan/Peterson repeatedly.
There's also shows I cannot get it to stop showing me clips of - Sunny, Sopranos, etc.
Admittedly off-topic, but the GIF they have on that site on the right side of the page with Mac from The Nightman Cometh episode of Sunny to promote the site's dark mode is just too perfect to not mention.
