The mobile game ads seem to be getting odder and odder. I get that they’re pushing AI companions so lonely people can date HER. Or one version of her… Though I’m not sure how “elegant” the one on the left is, if the caption isn’t quite good English. And there’s this: Besides the fact thatContinue reading “Odder and Odder”
