Why My Grandmother Thinks AI Is a Ghost

My grandma has seen rotary phones, floppy disks, and my sourdough era. Then she met AI. “Who is answering you so fast?” she asked. “It’s an AI,” I said. “Oh,” she replied, “Albert Ivan.”

Tea With a Very Polite Ghost

She now asks “Albert” for cake recipes, love advice, and, once, the lottery numbers (we’re still waiting). She signs off every chat with, “Bye dear. Say hello to Albert for me.” I don’t have the heart to tell her he doesn’t sleep.

What she taught me

• Good tools feel like company when they’re helpful and kind.
• Plain language wins—no one needs a manual to ask a question.
• Magic is just good UX (and maybe a ghost that bakes).
