>it's Crystal that's creepy. An unknown proprietary algorithm tells us what to write to our friends? Soon they'll just write for us. Does an advertiser want 1 million people to casually mention something to their friends today?

well, another, say Quartz, app would read the message and decide to write back through for example the same Crystal. Complete automating of social life of automatons. While they are at it, we can socialize on our own...

Considering the number of bots on Facebook, and the number of humans who communicate with strangers in txspk, it's possible this has already happened.

I can see an inverse business opportunity - a tool to certify that your communication is 100% brain-made and authentically genuine.

Maybe artisanalemail.com?
