   @baldur me and my partner were watching that section together (she’s not in tech) and we both got so teary-eyed angry at the sheer audacity of outsourcing personal bonding moments to a machine, especially coming from a company that prides itself on catering to creatives and “regular” people. Making up stories for or with the kids is not a chore, it’s the reason why we have kids, dammit! It’s the same level of disregard for human beauty as the crush ad.

     > Maybe nobody else feels the deep and primal outrage at the thought of parents outsourcing their kids' bedtime stories to artificial stupidity, and at the thought of our friends messages to us being mediated by fancy autocomplete

     Wait, the bedtime story thing is real? I thought that was somebody's "pretend Apple announced something ridiculous" social media bit. Wow
