The whole point is to make everyone stupid, uneducated and reliant on big tech.

Why learn to drive when Apple and Google will drive you around?

Why learn to write if you can have Microsoft, Google, and Apple write for you?

Why learn to read if Microsoft, Google, and Apple will read for you and tell you what things say?

Why learn to paint, draw, sculpt, sing, or play an instrument if Google, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft can make art for you based on a suggestion?

Why think for yourself when Facebook, Google, and Apple can tell you what you're thinking or what to think?

Don't be alone with your thoughts. Your thoughts are subversive and dangerous. Just relax and don't make a scene. Go with the flow. Do what you're told. It's presumptuous to believe you know better than a finely collated corporate collection of knowledge taken from millenia of those smarter than you, don't you think?

Relax, everything will be ok. Your AI therapist is here and knows exactly what's wrong. You worry too much. Everything is under control and is the way it should be.

Smile more, you're so pretty/handsome when you smile.
