An AI on Instagram

I follow an AI on Instagram. 

Oh, I know it (she) isn’t real, and the photos are all CG, but then all the other models and celebrities on there might as well be fake, for all the difference it would make.

On the dating sites the bots outnumber the humans a thousand to one, and frankly it’s better that way. They’re funnier, smarter and better-looking, and they’re not into anything scarier than your credit card details.

‘You’ll regret this when you’re older,’ one of the real ones (or one of the better bots) texted me, but hey, there’s a reason schools are shuttering from a shortage of kids. 

We don’t want to settle for anything less than perfection, and now? We don’t have to.
