I've complained for years that I talk about something in real life or on

or 4 keystrokes, the topic comes up as a search suggestion, even if I
think it's obscure. This is evidence that the microchip in my brain is
functioning.

Now, intellectually, in the back of my mind, if I'm listening to a lecture,
I know that it needs to be delivered by a middle-aged dude, out of shape,
ill-fitting suit, thick glasses, balding, with an unpleasant nasal
voice. Otherwise, I'm not listening to the arguments, just reacting to
the speaker.

Emotionally, I can be persuaded to do or think anything. A woman younger
than me that maybe we could share values, but not too much younger that
we have no possible way of communicating. Long hair, brunette or dark
blonde. About my height. Alto voice.

Now, Google knows this. The same woman has been turning up in my YouTube
feeds all week, either lecturing herself or being interviewed.

Let's say I were somebody important rather than another loudmouth with

cause me to overlook problems in her company's financial statements.

Philipines?

Also, is this a woman or is it AI?

I'm doomed. The rest of you, save yourselves if it's not too late.
Welcome to the machine.
