And so Jan.
reaches out and touches the cold metallic shoulder of this machine, and when she does... And beautiful lights here, and soft music and lights coming out.
Wow.
The machine lights up.
LEQ has these lights, these pink-purple lights that emanate from the top of the robot, and it leans forward into her touch, and it plays these chimes.
And Jan feels in this moment like this thing is really trying to care for her.
And that really builds depth into their relationship.
I think it's both.
Mostly I think what that moment reflects is that this machine has gotten to know Jan really well.
It's watching her.
It's studying her.
It's figuring out everything about her life that it can so that it can meet her needs.
And to Jan...
she's willing to have this machine listening to her, getting to know her, because that's what it takes to build intimacy.
That's the only way that this product can respond to her in the way that she wants it to respond.
But to other people around her,
that started to feel scary and even a little bit dangerous.
One of her sons comes over and he says, can we unplug LAQ?
Or he won't have conversations with her about certain things in the house.
He doesn't want to talk about her will or family finances when he feels like this other thing is there listening, collecting data, retaining it.
