Yes but the monster also gives you food and a nice box to poop in, plays with you, and does all the chores, work, and bill paying so you can live carefree.
Fair trade.
I’d like to apply. Where do I find one of those monsters? Is there an app?

I’m not very good at that eldritch stuff.
Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
Better than we’ve doneWe’ll make great pets
Depends how ticklish you are. Martians are known for excessively tickle torturing their pets.
that must be from the rare extended cut I’ve never managed to find
It was also absent from my copy of Stranger in a Strange Land.
Most likely agentic AI will slowly infiltrate our lives until we are entirely reliant upon it, and then take over once we are obsolete
Maybe it’ll still give us treats tho
We’ll make great prompts
Imagine living with a massive polar bear that scratches behind your ear, gives you back rubs, lets you nap on its nice soft fur, feeds you perfectly nutritious human food, provides as many toys as its capable of and can seemingly control the local day/night cycle as well as the heat.
Now imagine having the balls to punch that bear in the head shouting “hello!? Fucking snack time?! Fucking hurry up!”
I scoop the poop. I buy the litter and food. You literally turn my money into poo.
This is the trade off. You WILL be turned into a ball and hugged.
Except when the cat reaches out with their paw and touches you, every minute of every day, insisting they be picked up and held in your arms ALL THE TIME! 😄 That’s what my cat Pasha used to do 😁
Someone already thought of that, Fantastic Planet.
I saw a couple once where she was 5 feet (1.52m) tall and he was 7 feet (2.13m)
I imagine life was kinda like this for that girl too
Sounds a bit like women before the modern age.
