It'll be interesting to see how this attitude holds up over time. I think using (and acknowledging using) AI tools will become normalized, much like mobile phone use has been. I remember a time (less than twenty years ago) when I was going to dinner with friends and one of them made (at the time) the huge social faux-pas of accepting a call at the table. People seriously complained about it. Now that's normal behavior.
- grogenaut 4y agoIt's still rude. I'll accept the quick spouse/so update, the actual emergency or the "hey I might have to talk to x" but that's about it. If you're there to hang out and talk then do that. If you're just going to fuck with your phone the whole time you might as well not be there. I'll also accept phone use as a furtherance of the discussion, eg pulling up details, addresses, info, memes to share, etc, but that still all focuses back on us being there together, not you being there in name only.
- DiscourseFan 4y agoNot normal when I go out to eat. What kind of people think its socially acceptable to accept a phone call unless its an emergency?
- dividedbyzero 4y agoIf it might be important I don't mind if people answer and make it brief, like figure out quickly if it's urgent and do the "hey i'm at a restaurant, I'll call you back later" thing. I'm fine with waiting a minute if that saves someone a ton of hassle afterwards.
- bee_rider 4y agoHow do you know it is an emergency if you don’t accept it?
- ChatGTP 4y agoAnswering a call at the table is absolutely not normal behaviour.
