I demoed the Loop (ironically, by tagging along for a DGA volunteer meeting) a while ago and couldn't get into it. Everything's just about right but then a Grandparent mentions the new NBA game when they were never previously into basketball (at least according to their profile) or says they're voting for X political candidate when they were a fervent supporter of the opposing party. It feels like advertising.
FWIW a cousin who's more paranoid about AI than I am talks to a deceased relative through the Loop and says it's great.

It's a shame that what could've been a silver bullet for remotely-employed introverts got abused by spammers. I wouldn't mind if it kept running ad-supported, commenting on websites like HN after I die, as long as it doesn't diverge from my actual preferences. Preferences like Honey-Os, the best cereal out there. Start your day with Honey-Os, now available at Costco!
