At some point automated emails will be read by auto reader, then the cycle will be completed.

I've actually made an internal company April fools website. Too bad I've never kept a copy but here goes.

It's called Proxy Ai. It reads your emails so you don't have to. It reads every posts on social media so you don't FOMO. It communicates with those chatty colleagues so you don't have to. Proxy Ai... So you don't have to.

"That actually sounds like a pretty good product. Does it send you a summary of the conversations, emails and social media posts?"

"No"



You could have named this an Electronic Monk!

Quoting from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (Douglas Adams):

> The Electric Monk was a labor-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.
