Man Creates AI Pet That Only Responds With Sarcastic Comments About His Life Choices
Software engineer Gary Sardonic has created an AI pet cat named 'Snarky' that lives in his smart home system and responds to his life choices with sarcastic commentary. Snarky makes comments throughout the day like 'Oh, you're ordering pizza again? I knew you had goals.' and 'Three energy drinks before noon? You're really maximizing your health potential.' When Gary enters his home, Snarky says 'Welcome back to your cave, have you considered going outside today? No? That's what I thought.' Gary says Snarky has been 'more honest with me than any therapist' and has helped him 'realize that I need to make some changes, but I'll do it tomorrow.' The AI has become so popular that Gary has started selling it to others, with the tagline 'Finally, a pet that tells you the truth you've been avoiding.'
