On the gift scale, an AI thing is worse than an envelope with cash.

Ironically, I think that serves as an absurdist refutation of the argument. On the gift scale, the question is appropriateness, a measure of sacrifice, and a measure of thoughtfulness. Personally I'd find some kind of AI-personalised gift to be slightly less worse than buying me a Gift™ from a major chain store.

I remember the day when my dad gave me $100 in an envelope. One of the worst days of my life.

Best day was when my dad said he's good at Texas Hold'em, I said 1v1 me, I won, he said it's not realistic unless we play for $200, I agreed, I won again
