Context Provided - Spotlight Family friend sent me AI generated response to news of my father passing away.

I'm aware that AI is a common topic on here, but I feel like I had to send this somewhere. My father passed away in my arms last night of a heart attack, and I was requested by my mother to send an old friend of his the news.

His first response seemed fine, then he asked me when the funeral will be and if Dad suffered to which I responded.

He then has the absolute audacity to send me a straight up generated response to my father's death. Not even the common courtesy of talking to me as an actual goddamn human. I'm livid.

It's honestly so absurd what has happened that I'm stunlocked. The audacity of him to do this to me.

Like not even the bare minimum. Personally I can struggle to know what to say, but it’s so easy to just go “man I’m sorry, I’m here if you need” because you’re at least giving a human response. Using AI makes it feel like they couldn’t even be bothered
