alt Hacker NewsSending an automated thank you note also shows disdain for the recipient's time due to the asymmetry of the interaction. The sender clearly sees the thank you note sending as a task not worthy of their time and thus hands it off to a machine, but expects the recipient to read it themselves. This inherently ranks the importance of their respective time and effort.

^ I couldn't have said it better.
Really makes you appreciate the point of view of the Scramblers in Blindsight...
How is that any different than Hallmark? Humanity has outsourced this for a long time. Low-effort gifts, regifted gifts, bad white elephant gifts, etc. etc.
There's nothing stopping you from appreciating heartfelt effort. That is still possible today.
To be clear, I don't like automated low effort stuff like this. But I hate the internet's psychosis-like reaction to AI more.
It's become a vile performative meme to state how much you hate AI. The tone is always one of bravery and sacrifice mixed with disgust.
You know how you can tell someone hates AI? They'll tell you fifty times. It's becoming a personality type.
This made me laugh, because it looks as if it were written by an AI, which would be ironic.
I’m sad Rob got so upset. I understand why, but no one wants technodystopia.
Yes. Just like lazy pull requests, it's bad behavior by a person that is only facilitated by AI.
