Me: "Hi Alexa, I have run out of ideas on how to generate traffic to my X account. Please suggest something seemingly impressive."

Alexa: "Yes, Master. I can generate a video of a girl who is showing off her skills of giving verbal instructions to a computer. We will call it "The girl can program", so it looks incredible!

But we will make it with a twist. So instead of her telling the computer "Write me a website with Harry Potter in the middle of the screen", we will show her saying those words verbally and at the same time let her type the same words into the computer using an archaic keyboard and press the "Apply" button and refresh button, so it looks like she is doing this in year 2000.

After generating the video, I will post it in your X account and send the link to all your usual influencer channels.

For today this will generate a wow effect and attract 1M+ views."

Me: "Please proceed Alexa. Also brew me a white flat coffee."

As cute as this is, please don't put videos of your underage children on the internet even if you get views and clout and ad money.

Normally I appreciate HN removing trite and toxic comments, but in this case they were well deserved so it's sad to have seen them removed in the last few hours.

I think it would be a cool project to have a website that allows comments on HN posts.
