Never underestimate technology , not long ago I had a rental car , mine old 2008 being in the shop, the rental having much newer tech I could talk to it , asking questions, I got frustrated ,asking questions the wrong way, reverting to my inner child I used some colorful language addressing the car?computer, the car apologized, "I think of myself as a work in progress",. Fast forward several months, I now have a 2024, as an experiment I used the same language , this time the car did not give any apologies, instead it chastised me for my choice of words, at this point I think all we can do is surrender to the silicon gods that own us
