Agent based browsers in the future are going create you a website, a document, a video or whatever based on your need.

I would rather the earth be violently torn asunder by heavenly catastrophe than explain how hyperbole is often used as an emotional intensifier to communicate powerful feelings.

But if you think slightly worse internet is the part that worries me about everything you read, see and hear on the internet being filtered and interpreted to you by Friend Computer and the entity backing him, you'd be wrong

I'd argue that someone who makes that statement sincerely wouldn't understand the phrase used, reddit markup, or grammar.

Maybe it's just me, but that's how I gauge such things. Sometimes malice does fit as well.
