I know.

Yeah, let's do that.

Oh, I love that.

This colleague of mine, her name is Youngmi Moon.

She did these fascinating studies.

I think they were the early 2000s where she had people interact with computers and the computers self-disclosed to the person.

They'd be like, I...

have up to 100 gigahertz RAM capacity, but I rarely get to use my whole capacity.

They didn't even say I. It wasn't even that personified.

It was like this computer, but rarely uses its full capacity.

And then people felt attracted and they liked the computer that disclosed to it, which is so fascinating to me because the hardwiring case, the case for like when something acts like a human and reveals, then we feel fond of them.

There's this amazing study where they put people in brain scanners and they had people answer kind of fun-ish trivia questions about themselves.

So like, what's your favorite ice cream flavor?
