Its disturbing to see how many people have created emotional connections to a word generstor.
Imaginary friends used to require atleast some modicum of creativity.
Right? If you told someone from the past that we outsourced imagination to computers, they‘d think we live in a dystopia! Oh, wait…
We’re all word generators
We're far more than that. We are having a conversation, transmitting our thoughts through space and time. It's like telepathy, really. Word salad machines could never pull that off.
And we have emotions, not fake ones
