Brushing your ego
The electric toothbrush he had bought had many features that was unique. Nanzi corp. had really crushed it this time, the competition was way behind. It had been expensive, but it sported a flash light in case the enemy invaded while brushing, and a plaque-scanner that would beep if the brushing was not thorough enough.
But the reason he had bought it was the microphone that made it possible to ask the toothbrush questions while brushing your teeth. The AI-model was developed to recognise human language through foam, electric motor sound and speak impediment due to having a stick in your mouth. It was really something to be able to get the latest prices on hand weapons or information on discounts on blast doors for your bunker while cleaning your teeth.
The toothbrush had a rich, sensual female voice. Obliging, loyal and helpful. Not a servant's voice, but a caring person's voice. Almost like a mother, or a loving wife. One that would never question your motives no matter what. That alone had convinced him while he had the brush presented in the shop. It made him feel strong and important when he mumbled his questions.
The company had called her Eva Braun after the mistress of Adolf Hitler, a big leader in the twentieth century who had almost conquered the world.
That was going well, would there be a continuation?
(Dude! Great to see you! How you doing?)
It's not hard to believe that someone is working on this, but maybe not with that name. Mind you, I've heard some car companies veer to the right.
Always good to see you here.
So nice to see you again! I hope you've been well. Great story, as always.
So sad. And I am seeing more and more of this kind of inhuman connection with devices. Cool use of the toothbrush, surreal!
History is re-packaged and presented to mold developing thought. hm.
That's it! I've been sitting here too long already!
