Indeed. There are many things computers are amazing at doing (that's why I find them fascinating and enjoy working on them from time to time)—but human empathy isn't one of them.
- joshstrange 5y agoComputers didn't choose to close down a branch or limit its hours, humans did.

- 52-6F-62 5y agoThat’s not really a straight comparison here. Computers are not feeling machines, they’re calculators. Humans are greatly varied, contradictory creatures with a seemingly bottomless internal mode. You will get everything under the sun from out of humans. You will get discrete numerical calculations of out a computer.
