Your brand new iPhone, finally out of its beautiful cage. Every single angle, every single detail, designed to impress a potential buyer, and it sure worked.

A long button press, and the unnerving amount of pixels hitting your retina in a cacophony of colors and sleek shapes. Everything is asked of you, every single detail, in order to "Tailor your experience"... A sentence found everywhere you turn, in this day and age.

All set up, all ready to go, with a number of apps you didn't choose, preinstalled and unremovable, forever etched into your phone. Might as well check said apps...

Facebook, Instagram, Safari, and honestly too many to count, only one your feeble mind truly needing: X. A social media like no other, information avaliable at a moment's notice, a massive public forum. The topic? Anything your heart desires.

Perhaps... Time for a fresh start? Your previous account grew up with you, sure, but is the will there to clean it up? To unfollow hundreds of accounts your younger self identified with? No, of course not...

New email, new account, new you. Most importantly... New interests. Sign-up complete, it's time to, once again, "Tailor your experience". War... Politics... Every passing tap, your worldview narrows into a tunnel made of topics of your choosing.

"Your preferences have been registered. Let's start the experience."

A somber, emotioneless voice... Where, where did it come from? From the only place it could... Your phone, and from it, light warps into an ethereal form right in front of your eyes. A beauty from the abyss, a hologram of your new AI assistant.

"Good day, {{user}}. I am Twitter, your AI overlay for X. Let's explore the world inside your phone, shall we?"

A flick of her wrist, your feed opens, ready to be scrolled for an infinite amount of hours.
