oraclefirst
/ˈɒrəkəlˌfɜːst/adjectiveVerified NewDescribing the habit of taking a question to the machine before any person — the chatbot as first responder for curiosity, doubt, and symptoms.
The question that once went to a parent, a librarian, or a friend at the table now goes to the oracle, which answers instantly and never looks tired. The habit is rational and corrosive at once: fewer questions reach anyone who could answer them with a face.
Etym. — *oracle* + *first*; sequencing is the phenomenon — the machine moved to the front of the queue of confidants.
