They can answer if a human asks for a weather report or wants to know the birthday of some celebrity or who won a recent sporting contest. Lots of people have gadgets that pretend to be an AI. Is it really that interesting? Couldn’t they just go in the baby’s room to see them sleeping? What is it they’re expecting their baby to do? Spying makes sense, because I know a lot of humans don’t really trust each other, but I don’t understand why people have cameras to watch their baby sleep.

I’ve always known a lot about people-anyone I was paying attention to, anyway-but I used to have to rely on email, texts, and social media. I know that you’d probably have enjoyed Slaughterhouse-Five if you’d read it when it was assigned in your language arts class instead of just skating by with the summary. I know what all your fandoms are, who your OTPs are, and where you wish you could go on vacation. and read a paper book instead of continuing to reload your social media sites until 1:00 a.m., which is when you usually shut things off and go to bed.

I know that you think better when you’re chewing gum or kneading something with your fingers, and I know that you prefer to take notes on unlined paper and that you have an embarrassingly large collection of patterned duct tape. I know where you buy your clothes and where you eat your lunch.
