This sounds like something a robot pretending to be a human acting as a robot convincing you it’s human in an ironic, humorous way would say!

Think about it. Under each level of irony, there could always be another level of robot. (That includes me right now.)

The singularity isn’t “near” as people say, we’re already way past it. (In text-based communication anyway.)

We’ve had three pets so far, and they’ve all had real but uncommon human names.

I think it has potential to get there eventually. It already follows the similar design and usage philosophies, and I imagine the development could really take off now.

Keep in mind that Apollo has years of full-time development behind it, whereas Mlem is essentially an early beta of an open-source passion project.
