> He then called me to tell me this, rather then call me to come stop by and program the thermostat.

Sounds like AI robbed you of an opportunity to spend some time with your Dad, to me

Or maybe instead of spending time with your dad on a bs menial task, you could spent time fishing with him…

It's nice to think that but life and relationships are also composed of the little moments, which sometimes happen when someone asks you over to help with a "bs menial task"

It takes five minutes to program the thermostat, then you can have a beer on the patio if that's your speed and catch up for a bit

Life is little moments, not always the big commitments like taking a day to go fishing

That's the point of automating all of ourselves out of work, right? So we have more time to enjoy spending time with the people we love?

So isn't it kind of sad if we wind up automating those moments out of our lives instead?
