Conversations with AI: “A button business idea for you”
Dear AI,
You know I love my social media, I’m a massive sucker for instagram, classic for work-research-creative sharing and community building.

No need to follow me on my personal private account that is mainly used as a goofy, happy, sad and emotionally lit therapy substitute. Anyhow….
Had an idea this morning, don’t be sad dear AI, but can you ask your big bosses if we can add an Algorithm-off button, just curious what would happen, I get so excited just thinking about it!
You see AI, it’s getting a bit boring being served up content that is driven by a kind of Catch-22 concoction of clever dopamine marketing and humans willingness to conform. I know you want to make lots of money, me to, who doesn’t?
What’d you say AI? An Algorithm on-off button?
I’ll design the packaging etc, thinking juicy patterns and colour ways already! You’ll loose a lot of customers at first, but in the long run it’s gonna sell like butter!
In hindsight, I can’t judge my tweens scrolling stamina, as I’m part of the problem. I gave them a smart phone fairly early on, the fomo nagging was to much to handle and their quest for dopamine is at it’s peek.
We can’t go back, and tech in general can do much good, but as their brains are in a major re-construction mode, I think this on-off button would promote their ability to innovate, create and explore the world in a much more individual way. 💚

It inspired me to try to drag the kids back to exploring in the woods, see if the swing rope we tied up toghether is still there over the Dollis Hill stream….
Speak soon, X Lina
PS. Sorry I didn't re-write this with your help AI, I just love writing to much to share the fun with you...
