I was recently feeling this way too. It almost feels lonely when you are one of the only people not absorbed by a phone in public. I wonder how important any of the content being consumed really is. None of the best moments in my life have involved looking at a screen in my palm.

I gave this a try and it’s really pretty cool. Something I am looking for is the ability to have a debate with someone who purely uses logical fallacies. It would be interesting if the AI could take on a persona like that and only give logically false arguments. This would help me recognize these fallacies in real arguments.
