Zuck and Co just completely failed to read the room. Horizons didn't fail because the technology wasn't ready - it failed because nobody actually wanted the product. It didn't solve any problem and added a ton of friction (headsets, eye goggles, no legs, etc). The headsets were uncomfortable and isolating. The vibes were creepy and weird.

The rolled it out like a cheesy corporate team-building mandatory exercise, not something where anyone would want to actually spend any time by choice.

Doesn't look AI-generated at all to me.

I think it's because I used a dash! Clearly need to train myself out of using those lest be accused of using ai.

The AI would have generated an em-dash instead of a hyphen

It's not really netiquette to accuse people of AI generated comments unless it's clear
