I'm not entirely sure but I am pretty certain siliconc0w was being sarcastic...

Even if he was, we aren't :) Thanks!

If anyone ever pulled crap like that on me during a conversation, I would be done with that person forever. I wouldn't care who he or she was.

If somebody is disrespectful enough to engage in behavior as pathetic as that, then I want nothing to do with that person. Maybe "hipsters" would be fine with such shabby treatment, but I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking it's an extremely distasteful thing to do to somebody you're conversing with.

What, to pay for advice to the question of "oh no, what should I say?!" Its unusual, but I wouldn't find it offensive.

Not a fan of Cyrano de Bergerac, I take it?

No, to be the person on the receiving end of such a manufactured or deceiving message. Although, now that you mention it, spending good money on something so pathetic is kind of distasteful, too.

If somebody truly can't think of what to say next to me (or anybody else) in a conversation, then ending the conversation or admitting to not knowing what to say is much more sensible and preferable than spending money on getting some third-party to create a response.

You should pivot to an 'uber for conversations' where at any point you can tap a button, get billed $5, and have a professional screenwriter finish your conversation for you. You could have 'peak' rates trigger at night to satisfy demand for all the people scrambling to get laid. Lots of unemployed screenwriters, lots of people wanting to get laid, that is a market waiting to happen.

The movie Her predicted this would be a market someday.
