Counter-point: I love that my rubber duck can talk (quack?) back, as well as record and summarize my thoughts on topics I'm working or stuck on. I've wanted a good voice mode for precisely this reason. When I take my dog on a walk and I'm thinking about a bunch of problems/ideas, I'd love to have feedback and a record, or perhaps to even kick off research or ask questions to fill in gaps that would otherwise have me debating pulling out my phone to try to get an answer.

You want to be a child forever, amazed by your toys or the new things you can do. The toys won't let you grow up and become a normal human. You don't need take a dog for a walk, if you live in a normal place that allows dogs to roam freely. And you don't need to think about a "bunch of problems/ideas". Your mind is a servant of your body. And your body never asked you for that.

  >You want to be a child forever, amazed by your toys or the new things you can do. I don't think having a child-like sense of wonder at the world, or continued human ingenuity, is a sign that one wants to be a child forever. I'm genuinely sorry if you've lost that spark. >You don't need take a dog for a walk, if you live in a normal place that allows dogs to roam freely. I love my dog and love walking him, even though he can freely roam on my property. I also love walking with my wife, and I don't think her agency has much reason for why I might enjoy it? >Your mind is a servant of your body. And your body never asked you for that. ...are you okay, friend?
