Omg, I have friends like this who are like “I don’t want to make decisions, I just want the algorithm to decide for me”

I look at them like I just bumped into an alien in those moments. Have a brief “Maybe I shouldn’t be friends with you” but then reel myself in and think "they can’t be serious "

You just reminded me employees in my company who are mostly like that.

It would be different if the algorithm was doing anything other than trying to sell you things
