@neven yuuuuup.

It feels to me that they don’t value the relationship we have enough to actually write an email (and request information atop that!).

I have a friend, a ‘tech guy’ who had a virtual assistant for years. When he told me to shoot him an email to figure put when we should meet, that triggered the virtual assistant pipeline who basically took over the entire dialogue and interaction.

I didn’t talk to my friend, I was relegated to a bot.

@neven Good read. It really does feel like breaking the social contract, right? If they couldn’t be bothered writing the email by hand, why did it need to be a full email in the first place? Why send an email instead of using some kind of short form messaging they could have actually written?

@neven I read this and it made me sad, and the more I think about it, the sadder I get.
