Shit’s gone too far.

Can’t even be bothered to offer human comfort to dying patients anymore.

This is the ultimate bended knee to the AI takeover.

this reminds of a documentary on psychiatry and how they basically stopped talking to people in the 50's and started handing out pills , one doctor decided to start talking to his patients and guess what they recovered very quickly ...nothing replaces the human touch and caring

You need to watch George Lucas' movie THX-1138. Seriously. They turned Jesus into a cheesy AI with canned questions and answers. The end of life ceremony was equally cheesy.

I don't remember that part in THX 1138... haven't seen it in several years.

[user113]

You remember the scene where the old man was dying though, right?

Dude I totally don't...
