@davidrevoy I like that the conflict is against society rather than against her own choice to keep the bird around
@andrewrk Thank you for noticing this change in the writing!

@davidrevoy So true searching is completely useless these days... and even search engine alternates get poisoned and unwillingly serve SLOP...

@davidrevoy don't know if it was a conscious choice, but I like the book title about fire-proof panties: it suggests that the machine knows personal details about the user (that she's likely to wear panties and not boxers) and pushes the ad on her even when the request had nothing to do with it.

@davidrevoy imagine an AD with that many pages... I think the biggest books are ADs

@joel Arf; true. Missed opportunity! I could do a reference like "Piano score: Burns, Burns, Burns...
" -
@hacknorris @wikipedia I agree
Btw, I wonder what parody name (and metaphor) in a fantasy setting I could give to Wikipedia... I'm open to ideas!@davidrevoy @hacknorris @wikipedia witchypedia

@Konqi Haha, true. Unconscious decision here; maybe the books have a secret box inside them for all the cookies of partners.

@jordan
Bravo! Good one.
(also, good idea. I never really was a user of them, but I really liked the "other blog recommended" on the old blogs; sometime, you could browse deep in the web jumping from blog to blog this way)@davidrevoy @jordan We'll need a Web Ring of Fire spell.

"@davidrevoy hehe! I was targeting the search engine, not the story teller

@isagalaev Thank you! Yes, a conscious choice; the "Top 5 Best Engagement Rings (For you)" is also a direct recommendation.
️ I had a lot of fun writing this part. To bad I had to limit to 6 results; I wrote probably more than 10 on my first draft.

@davidrevoy we need a series with just that red parrot robot getting up to no good or solving crime or something lol.
@scottytrees A sort of "Columbo, but it's an AI Parrot" type of series?
-
@davidrevoy this is incorrect. search results got worse befor ai
@condret You are right. It's a caricature here, but also when everything went full AI it went downhill : summary, AI "for you" recommendation based on your profiling, more slop entries unfiltered, etc...

@NullTheFool Same...

I stopped using Google years ago, and I did not replace it with Bing either. Nor did I trust DuckDuckGo since it is in America.

"Let's ask the hive."
It should consist of many entities. Ants, fairies, bodiless hands, swifts, mushrooms, a castle full of weird people – could be anything.
And they should be constantly bickering among themselves while also being very thorough, helpful and intelligent – and super smug about it!
