Conversations With a Loan Bot
With help like you, who needs hindrance?
(I feel like I should explain why I have deeply nihilistic conversations with software I didn’t pay for. I decline.)
Me: Rewrite, less harshly: Carney’s housing promises are ambitious, but whether he delivers remains to be seen.
Botty: Carney’s housing promises are ambitious, but their success will depend on execution.
Me: Bit *sterile*.
Botto: Carney’s housing promises are ambitious, but time will tell if he can follow through.
Me: Why not. If I had the time to polish a turd ... but who will know the difference?
Botnothing: Glad you liked it! Let me know if you need more tweaks. 😊
Me: I don’t.
Botthead: All good! Just let me know if you ever do. 😊
(At this point I’m thinking — well, you’ll see.)
Me: I will.
(I have a plan. A thought experiment. Also, I’m on deadline. These are gems on your path to illumination.)
Botm-fdr: Sounds good! Catch you next time. 😊
Me: Not if I catch you first.
Botler: Haha, challenge accepted! 😄
