The surprising origin of 4 features that superglue kids–and adults–to screens

Not surprising until the last: “Feature 4: teasing, or giving you almost what you want“. Think about Instagram, it’s a subtle thing to not deliver when the content is not yours (Instagram does not produce content).

But, who hasn’t had one of those ChatAi sessions!?

I prolly couldn’t imagine it before recent Debian server crash. ChatAi quietly changing my Python tooling, ignoring my prompt and the evidence in my pasted output, before I realized it wasn’t my stack.

Not saying its true, but it’s not the first time I felt strung out by a circular chat ignoring my instructions.

The four features, which are expanded upon on in the article:

* Solitude.

* Bottomlessness.

* Speed.

* Teasing, or giving you almost what you want.
