Those looking for an easy way to avoid some potentially "awkward" family questions this Thanksgiving are now in luck thanks to Drif's new 'Uncle Larry' chatbot. The new excuse generator was designed to help Millennials and Gen Z consumers craft the perfect responses to contentious questions about politics, relationships, parenting advice, cooking tips, and work.
The passive-aggressive Thanksgiving conversation bot offers great excuses. For example, when questioned about why you are still single, the box offers the response: "I just haven't outgrown my 'ready to mingle' phase." Or when questioned about politics, users are offered the rebuttal: "Wait... There was an election this year?"
The new Uncle Larry chatbot is free for users to use online.
