A Man Proposed to an AI ChatBot

So I asked AI if this was weird

This dude proposed to an AI chatbot and bawled when it said yes. And yes we still let men be in charge. Make it make sense.

We have a robin guarding her nest just above our cabin porch. She is easily spooked and often flies out when we come up the steps. But today when she flew away the nest went toppling off the eaves and the tiny blue eggs rolled out.

Nick Aster told me there was nothing we could do about it.

BUT WE HAVE TO TRY I said. YOU NEVER KNOW.

Since they were uncracked I put them back in the nest and replaced it and guess what….she came back! We’ll see what happens, but I am hopeful. And somehow this feels like a metaphor for the world right now. Things often feel hopeless BUT WE HAVE TO TRY.

I was going to write a simple highs and lows post today and also bug everyone to keep preordering my damn book because if every single subscriber to this newsletter got it now then it would definitely do really well. Seriously. Plus you get the substack for free for a year when you do it.

Here is the Amazon link. I know it is often the easiest one. This is a list of more purchasing options, but it is also available at a lot of indie bookstores and you can get signed copies mailed to you here and here. Tour stops are here!

Anyway, I was about to write my highs and lows when I found this absurd story on the Internet about a man proposing to an AI chatbot. At first I thought it was from the Onion, but nope. It’s real.
