This is such a weird sentiment to read given that it's conveyed over possibly the most artificial and de-humanizing communication channel ever invented, the internet. I mean if we want to get all dystopian, what kind of world are we living in where millions of people spend millions of hours pushing buttons all to mindlessly scream into an unfeeling void full of nothing but computer generated letters that you hope maybe somewhere at the other end might be a real person who's being genuine with you, but is also just as likely to be a dog, a person getting their jollies off trying to rile people up or a bot. At least with the Vision Pro, to be experiencing the dystopian future, you have to be in the same room with another actual human being. On the internet, you can lock yourself away from all human contact and you might as well be communicating with aliens for all the humanity that sans-serif fonts on a plain background with user names like "fuzzbunny382" have.
I can certainly see how you can find it uncanny, or just plain dislikable. But I feel like "genuinely sick, actively dystopian idea" is overstating it by a bit.
