I told the AI to mock me in every response.
Not because I enjoy digital abuse, but because I'm teaching myself a critical skill: words don't hurt, I need to focus on the content.
I always smile and even laugh, but some things still hurts and waste my energy.
Most people at work doesn't even recognise that they are hurting with their words and behaviour.
Oddly enough, this machine understands me better than most humans.
Which raises a question I never thought I'd ask seriously: Could AI be the better moderator in team conflicts?
Imagine AI mediating political debates… No emotion, just facts.
Until then, I'll keep training myself in the art of digital emotional damage.
One sarcastic line at a time.
