SO was complaining that I never text her while at work. Wrote a twilio app to pull random sentimental quotes from rumi and others, fit it into a personalised looking message spelling mistakes included )"thinking of you" etc.), and send it to her at random times of the day from my number. Weird thing is when I mentioned it was automated, she didn't believe me, so we kept it going till she broke up with me eventually.

Affection as a service. Automation in 2018 is looking grimmer and grimmer :)

  This is like boyfriend or girlfriend as a service.

    It would be more profitable to automate both ends of the relationship, so the humans won't even have to look at their phones while sweet nothings are pinging between servers in your data center/ scalable cloud.
