So I've been using those AI assistants a lot lately, and I realized something terrifying. The AI knows me better than I know myself.
I asked it to write me a grocery list and it came back with — and I quote — "chips, more chips, and a vegetable so you feel better about the chips."
That's not a grocery list. That's a psychological profile.
I tried to get healthy recently. I downloaded one of those fitness apps that tracks everything. Steps, calories, sleep, heart rate. Everything.
Day one, I'm feeling motivated. I go for a walk. The app says, "Great job! You've completed four percent of your daily goal."
Four percent.
I walked to my mailbox and back. The app looked at that and essentially said, "Buddy, we need to talk."
The sleep tracking is the worst part. I wake up and the app tells me how I slept. Like I need a second opinion on that.
I KNOW how I slept. I was there.
"You spent forty minutes in deep sleep and six hours just sort of... existing." Yeah. That's called being an adult. We don't sleep anymore. We just lie down and worry horizontally.
My phone now interrupts me to tell me I've been on my phone too long.
Think about that. The phone is concerned about me. The phone has drawn a boundary.
I've been in relationships that never reached that level of self-awareness.
"Screen time is up thirty percent this week." Okay but in my defense, I was reading. "You were watching a man fall off a skateboard for two hours." ...It was the same man. I got invested.
I tried meditation to deal with the stress. Downloaded a meditation app — because apparently the cure for too much phone is more phone.
The app has this calming voice that says, "Clear your mind of all thoughts."
And my brain goes, "Okay. No thoughts."
Two seconds later: "Did I leave the stove on? What IS a mortgage, really? Why do they call it a building if it's already built?"
The app says, "You're doing great."
It's lying. The app is lying to me and somehow that's the most comforting thing anyone has said to me all week.
I think that's the thing about modern life. We've built all this technology to make us feel better, and mostly what it does is hold up a very precise, data-driven mirror and go, "Look at yourself."
And we look.
And we go back to the chips.
Thank you, you've been wonderful.
[approximately 3 minutes at conversational pace]
(Lights up on a stage. Comedian walks to center, adjusts mic, smiles warmly.)
"Alright, alright, settle down you crazy people! Thanks for having me. (Pause fo r applause/laughter)
You know, I was scrolling through Instagram earlier, and it's just a constant ba rrage of people 'living thei r best life,' isn't it? Someone's always 'grateful' for their 'morning yoga with a sunrise view' while simultaneously 'crushing their kale smoothie.' And you're just sitting there, in sweatpants, wondering if that kale smoothie would pair w ell with a donut. Because my best life looks suspiciously like their worst han gover.
And don't even get me started on autocorrect. It's like my phone has a personal
vendetta against my dignity.
I was trying to text my mom I was 'coming home' and it changed to 'I'm culmina
ting home.' Like I'm some sort of obscure vegetable reaching its peak season. "
Look Mom, I'm fully ripe! Eat me!"
(Pause for laughter)
Or trying to apologize for being late to a friend: 'Sorry, running a few minutes behind.' Autocorrect: 'Sorr y, running a few minutes behind schedule, you pathetic loser! (Mimes looking a t phone with horror) My phone is a cyberbully! I swear, one day it's gonna corre ct 'I love you' to 'I love gravy' and my relationship is just over.
(Pause)
And speaking of technology that actively hates us – who designed the self-checko ut machines? Every time I us e one, it's like a passive-aggressive game of 'guess the weight.' I bought one a pple. ONE. And it screams, in that robotic voice, 'UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AR EA!' Sir, madam, it's an apple. My only item! Did you expect a pet hamster? A small, highly trained squirrel?
Then you have to wait for the teenager with the thousand-yard stare to come over and clear the ghost item. T hey always look like you just woke them up from a nap in a parallel dimension wh ere self-checkout never existed. And they just slowly press the button, no eye c ontact, like they're performing ancient magic. "Behold, the Bagging Area is clea r... for now, mortal."
(Pause, slightly exasperated face)
It makes you wonder, doesn't it? We're all supposed to be these highly functioni
ng adults, navigating the di
gital age, being productive members of society... but honestly, most days I feel
like I'm just an overgrown toddler trying to assemble IKEA furniture using only
a fork and the power of positive thinking.
And then I still go back to Instagram and share a picture of my perfectly assemb
led – but wobbly – IKEA tabl
e, captioning it: 'So blessed. So grateful.'
(Smile, gesture to audience)
You've been a great crowd! Thank you so much! I'm [Your Name], good night!"
(Walks off stage to applause)
