my mother decided an ai assistant could settle a longstanding family joke about who her favorite child was. she described our personalities, jobs, and childhood achievements in painstaking detail
she conveniently mentioned that my brother calls every week and omitted that i live nearby and help with her groceries. the assistant praised my brother's consistent communication and suggested he might be especially attentive
my mother announced the verdict during dinner. i asked to submit additional evidence. my sister objected that the competition was unfair because mom had written the questions
we staged an appeal using all three siblings' accounts of family history. the assistant refused to rank us and suggested everyone contribute to the dishes. nobody liked that verdict either
