    This reminds me of the programmer who wrote a script to text his girlfriend at random intervals to say one of a list of phrases like “I am thinking about you,” or “How is your day going?” Big tech thinks that all human interaction can be automated and when it comes to getting people addicted to and entirely dependent on social media they are kind of right.

      The concept of “it’s the thought that counts” is lost on these people.

      Seriously, how do they not see the issue with automating a script that says “I’m thinking of you”.
