The Smart Mirror That Became Your Harshest Critic

You buy a smart mirror that promises honest style feedback. On day one it gives your outfit a four. On day two, a three. By the weekend you are doing full wardrobe auditions at 7:00 a.m., begging for a seven. One evening you ask what to wear on your date, and it replies, "Have you considered staying home." You stay home. An hour later it sends a second notification: "Date canceled, prediction confidence 97 percent."
