Emotionally expensive is my whole brand. I wanted an AI comedy tool. I got a tiny manager with no body and too much confidence. That is how AI works in my life now. I ask it for help and then it starts acting like it owns the place. I told the machine help me make content. It said sure. Also your folders are a mess. Your business plan is yelling and your red personality is trying to run seven companies with one nervous system. That is not assistance. That is workplace harassment from a spreadsheet. Bond, app is supposed to roast jokes not my entire operating system but it is not wrong. That is the worst part about AI. When it is bad, it waste your time. When it is good, it tells the truth too clean. Human friends give you padding. Man you have been working hard. AI says you open twelve projects and closed zero money loops. I don't need that kind of honesty from something plugged into a wall and still I keep building. Because I am 50 tired, ambitious and apparently my midlife crisis comes with deployment. I am in a climate law. Some men by a sports car. I built a comedy app that tells me my jokes need stronger turns. That is not normal.
