Parrots

Searched apple. Got a phone. Clicked 'Big Bang theory'. Got a sitcom. Fair, the sitcom piece was fine. The title was the con, not the writer. Same theft, twice. A word that used to open onto the world now opens onto a product page. Nothing broke. The words work fine. They just don't mean what they say anymore.

Feed aggregator full of real humans, not corporations.

Ten titles promise a person. Click. A grown man three seasons deep inside some anime girl who doesn't exist. A thousand words defending her.

Someone read a book. Two lines. "Really made me think." Thought not included.

Somebody ate granola. Zero regrets, thanks for reading via RSS.

Someone else spends six hundred words in love with a director, a gadget, an author they never met. Free advertising, no contract, no fee.

Someone swapped a subscription, changed the other router and called it independence. Same customer, new logo.

Now I understand why people fear AI can replace them.
