Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 17, 2024

Looks more like competition than replacing.

How does one say an ellipses out loud? I suppose “dot dot dot”.

Seems like a design flaw.

Now I kinda wonder what would happen if Kevin meets Siri or Alexa.

Seems very unicorny, to me!

I realized for the first time, seeing her next to Kevin, that Phoebe’s head is a perfect circle. Is AE based on her?

awe-ful

No, she’s not. None of us are.

Maybe your awe is still stuck in that uncanny valley.

Nup. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it ain’t nothin’ like the real thing, baby! I say the same of Artificial Intelligence, certainly at this stage of the game.

Marigold can confirm that she’s standing, but that’s it.

I really miss Phoebe’s little guy friend – someone please remind me of his name.

“In awe” Yes. But Of Kevin’s “elegance” Not so much.

No, she is not standing in awe.

Without eyes, your perspective is not well rounded; not as elegant as supposed.

Kevin doesn’t seem to be any more sparkly than Marigold on an average day. I don’t think the unicorns have much to worry about. He sure doesn’t seem to be impressing Phoebe all that much.

The design is certainly beautiful. I don’t know Phoebe, but Max might stand in awe at least for a couple os seconds.

What ‘elegance’? You’re a ball. You’re the shape physics designed to have the minimum surface area because physics couldn’t be arsed any further. You’re the most uniform, and therefore the most conservatively BORING shape there is.
