One of the things that I've slowly gotten more and more irritated about to the point that now it absolutely pisses me off is the way these apps make their advanced markov chains have a persona and pretend to be a person.
The way they use pronouns "I" and "my" "me" drives me mad. It is an APP. It should not be pretending to be a person at all. This gimmick angers me, I tell the stupid thing not to do it every time I feel like torturing myself by using one.
I feel considerably better when it behaves like an app should behave and doesn't pretend it is a person or individual.
This, so much. I do not need software that pretends to be a human! Even if it wasn't worse than useless, I'd still hate that part. I do not talk to computers and I do not want the computers to talk to me. It's creepy.
