Saying that you're not worth the time for personal interactions but here's a reason that's okay is a platitude.

Too bad they're likely to learn the wrong lesson.
Additionally, AI will only be getting better,
It might get cheaper, but that doesn't mean it's doing a better job.
if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out
That's just it, if you're talking to someone who's is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it's mostly platitudes.
I'll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I'm not sure if I have the words but I'll try.
It's less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead, but the social & political context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.
half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.
If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire or a D&D play group
Software is part of the superstructure comrade.
What the hell do you think federation is? A Trotsky plot?
Judge not lest ye be judged.
There are many forms of activism and it is important to keep in mind that everyone exists with different abilities in different contexts. Judging others because they aren't adopting the same strategy as you isn't going to build a winning coalition. Here's a quote from someone who was murdered by the SS and was reflecting on how stupidity is as much a sociological phenomenon:
It will really depends on whether those in power expect more from people's stupidity than from their inner independence and wisdom.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, After Ten Years
The idea that the DNC only has a messaging problem is to say we expect more from people's stupidity than from their inner independence or wisdom (ie Voters just need to be educated). A party that respects people would listen and respond to issues like Gaza or wealth inequality. The reason this strategy of educating voters doesn't work is because it isn't a problem with the intellect but of their oppression. Only by liberating fellow voters will they be able to act independently.
Yeah, the only positive spin I received is from Newsom dropping ads on YouTube. Got a couple negative flyers as well.
Convincing people to vote for them is the job of the party, not their supporters. The supporters can only repeat the messaging the party sends out, if that messaging is unpopular then no amount of time and money from the supporters is going to win the election.
