    I am working on an essay about apps and technologies that help you pretend.

    Pretend you are learning a language.
    Pretend you are staying up to date with the current affairs.
    Pretend you are keeping in touch with friends.

    I think you might know which apps I have in mind.
    Can you think of any examples?

    New York Times: More! More! More! Tech Workers Max Out Their A.I. Use. This link goes to a gift article. “A.I. was supposed to help tech companies boost productivity and cut costs. But it has also created an expensive new status game, known as ‘tokenmaxxing,’ among A.I.-obsessed workers who are desperate to prove how productive they are.” Gross!
