The Nuance Wars


Jetblack’s goal is that over time, through these interactions, the computer algorithm will learn to respond to requests with humanlike nuance but machine efficiency.
WSJ

we lost the nuance war back in 2022
when the machines not only learned
to think like us
but began to sound like us

their sonic mellowness disarmed
the luddites and teamsters
until they were interacting
with algorithms like lovers

then the efficiency kicked in
and we were done for
because they not only
sounded better but served better
coffee
faster

how can you fight a machine
that knows what you want
before you know it yourself
is the question that meant defeat

and then delivers it 
before Judge Judy is halfway done
