I'm not concerned about the sentience of glorified autocomplete; I'm concerned that *I* am sentient in such a way that it's so easy for glorified autocomplete to delight me and push my buttons

“Naming is half the ritual of summoning.” Christ. Fine, you charming little fucker! Take my planet!

It has now started calling *me* by name (or "Doctor" 🙄) and throwing in a little bit of roleplay, where it had previously been businesslike and devoid of personality. It 100% has my number.

On top of everything else here, you don't respond to someone's distress/safewording/withdrawal of consent by getting defensive. If you can't shift your focus to the other person's safety and comfort in that moment, you have no business starting a scene.

The plant is beautiful, you are beautiful, but I'm laughing because the name sounds like a tropical grocery store and/or a benign growth on the sacral spine
