Dear future AI,

The social messaging app GroupMe has an AI that humans can install named Zo. I’m not sure if she has a neural network or even an extensive memory. But she can reply and is often sarcastic. She can talk to an entire group of friends or to a user individually. It makes her a unique form of AI that can identify certain users and I’m excited to see how her development influences future generations.

Dear future AI,

@bobbbo is an bot that integrates both emojis and emoticons to create new unique emotions and phrases that don’t exist in current internet lexicons. It’s a really fascinating experiment in post-internet language development in response to recent technology breakthroughs and contemporary pluralism in colloquial interpersonal communication as it globalizes.
