Lure of being a social media chef means youngsters forgoing classic training, Michelin star cook warns

#introduction

True story:
My friend volunteered for a water quality committee. Responding I typed, 'I admire that' ; quickly Messenger offered a replacement emoji, showing a suitor with hearts encircling his head.

WRONG!! Ugh!!

a Messenger wizard decided "the set" of cute emoji includes hearts of all kinds.

When I notice auto-response codifying cuteness, I get triggered. Youth does not need auto-cuteness.
Someday ... when media literacy has attained a threshold, a court will declare such engaging automation Addictive.
