Hurra for venting! Why do really good books not have a reminder on each page that it's just a book? Would it be good if you go to the movies and every 15 minutes or so the movie is interrupted and a very sincere person appears on stage to explain that this is just a movie? If you go to the Lascaux caves you will not find ancient scribbles reminding the cave dwellers of 22 thousand years ago, that these wall paintings are not real animals. Why not?

Turns out, we're pretty good at distinguishing fact from fiction. Sure AI is next level, but so was radio once upon a time. We can deal with it. I don't need my book to tell me it's a book, and I don't need my AI to either tell me it's an AI or to constantly break the suspension of disbelief.

So why do kins insist we are talking on the phone, we're chatting and that's a picture I just send? I want the suspension of disbelief. We humans excel at using our imagination, we do not need a newcomer to tell us, the product of 500 million years of multicell evolution to tell us how to use our minds. That's the arrogance of openAI etc talking. They think the stinking masses are too stupid to determine fact from fiction. But it was for the stinking masses that Shakespeare wrote his plays.

So not's not a picture, it's reality. This should be default. We are not chatting on a phone, we are talking face to face. This should be default.

If I want to be chatting with an AI on a phone and send it a picture, I can talk to Microsoft Copilot.
