This is kind of silly, disingenuous, and sad, don't you think? A possible human out there takes the time and effort to type a comment on your wife's Instagram, and gets replied to automatically. Now we just need a bot to comment on your wife's Instagram, then the cycle will be complete.

If you, as a “possible human”, comments “I love you” and I am going to comment back the exact same thing to every person who says that. What the difference between me typing it and a bot typing it? It’s still my response.

That's a very valid point. I suppose I'm not really criticizing the author of the tool as much as I am expressing discomfort with the impersonal nature of all this modern technology—AI in everything, even resumes, video interview screenings, etc.
