One thing that stuck out to me reading this was the constant reference to various AI agent's by a name.

It made me step back and think about how some of these AI products are named and I honestly prefer when a product isn't named like a person. Just to think of two: you have "Claude" and "Alexa" which gives the impression you are speaking to a person when you very very much are not.

I gotta say I kind of prefer the name "ChatGPT" that OpenAI went with. It doesn't try to pretend it's a human with it's naming and also describes what it is in it's name.

If anyone is interested in a longer form version of this sort of story I’d highly recommend Ken Liu’s The Perfect Match.

Perfectly realistic except the ending: why would anybody pay humans to generate voiceovers in 2030s, when AI can already do the job? Show 3 replies

The future is going to have a lot more speaker grilles with screwdriver stab marks in them.

Not enough ads and push to spend, I'm afraid.

Reminds me of the movie "Demolition Man", where everything was assisted by AIs.

I was hoping this was about FM-2030’s morning routine. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be much information online about/if he did anything particularly unique.

This is classified as satire but it's not much so, we're already halfway there.
