Christ. I just went through this stuff with a loved one, for a few years.
“Hey Siri, what did mom do today?”
“Asked 214 times when you were getting back in town, because she has not seen you in a long time.”
“I’ve been back for two months and I saw her this morning.”
“That is what I told her, each time.”
“Ok. What else did she do?”
“Nothing.”
Yeesh. Some Black Mirror shit.
[edit] not to crap on how nice that really might be for a lot of people. Dementia’s just… well, pretty messed up and sad, I guess, and bringing machines into the mix can be weird.
