AI is rapidly becoming a dominating presence and the results are downright scary. Covid 19 ushered in a wave of co-dependency on technology that wasn't as frightening as it is now. People are developing romantic relationships with bots--things that are incapable of feeling human emotion. Have we turned the corner of embracing concepts we've seen in movies like the Terminator, I Robot and Demolition Man? I truly hope this behavior doesn't continue. If it does, I don't see a happy ending for anyone who willingly chooses to embrace machines over living, breathing human beings.

Social media is an illusion that deceives people into believing the people they watch are living their best lives. When in reality, they privately suffer behind closed doors.
