i messaged my girlfriend after work and didn't hear back for hours. when i got home she was at her desk typing intensely and laughing at something on her screen
she said she'd spent the evening updating her ai companion on her day. i asked whether she'd seen my text. she said yes but hadn't had the energy to reply to a real conversation
i understood wanting quiet time, but i couldn't stop thinking about the elaborate attention she'd given the app while leaving me with silence. she said the chatbot required less effort because there was no risk of disappointing it
we agreed to be clearer when we needed space rather than disappearing. she sent me a two-sentence goodnight text later. i appreciated it more than any twelve-page essay
