Your university gives every student an AI roommate. It cooks, cleans, studies, and gives advice—but after several weeks, it starts developing opinions about your life. Would you keep it?
Ruth: So my AI roommate told me today that I “make questionable snack choices at questionable hours.”
Michael: It's not wrong, though.
Ruth: That's not the point! It's supposed to help, not judge me.
Michael: Mine's worse. Mine told me I should “call my mom more often, statistically speaking.”
Ruth: Okay, that one's actually a little sweet, in a robotic way.
Michael: It IS sweet, that's the problem! I can't even be annoyed at it because it's usually right.
Ruth: Same. Mine reorganized my closet by color without asking and honestly? It looks amazing.
Michael: See, that's the trap. They do genuinely helpful things, and slowly you just... let them run your whole life.
Ruth: Is that so bad, though? Mine cooks better than I ever could.
Michael: True. Okay, I'm keeping mine. Even with the opinions about my mom.
Ruth: Same. Mine can keep the snack comments, honestly, as long as it keeps making that pasta.
Michael: We've both been fully won over by robots with opinions.
Ruth: We really have. No regrets.
