Does FB talk to you?

When I opened my FaceBook page the first thing I read was "Good morning Brian!" with the FB "f" to the left and a sun partially obscured by clouds on the right. I said something nasty to it in return. Now I know that sounds touchy as hell but I don't want my Face Book page to act like its a person. FaceBook is not a person. I think this is about AI coming out, showing its face for the first time. I was up very late last night unable to sleep as I started to sketch out in my head the basic layout for a book I want to write that involves AI and then I wake up to this. I think someTHING is reading my mind. I'm not good with this.

Thanks for listening and Happy New Year Day Two :smile:

    Thanks, I hope to! The plot is similar to the themes used in the movie "The Quiet Earth" and George R. Stewart's Earth Abides with an A.I. twist. Never tried anything like it so we'll see.

    I'm not on social media other than here, but maybe you're reading (haha!) too much into that? I mean, I go to log in to my email, Amazon, grubhub, etc., and my name is part of my profile. Got a weather app on my phone.

    I count these things among those that don't freak me out =)

    I do think your book concept is an interesting one.

    I think I go the Sarcasm Model A.I. Robo FB. One of these morning I expect it will probably spit out one of those Carlinesque, "Have a nice da-a-a-a-a-y"s followed by a pause and then... SUCKER!
