“SmarterChild Walked So Our AI Baddie Era Could Strut”

Back in 2001, while the world was still tryna figure out WiFi and flip phones were a flex, there was this lil’ digital homie called SmarterChild—a chatbot chillin’ on AOL and MSN Messenger. Sound random? Maybe. But sis, let me break down why this bot deserves a whole “she understood the assignment” moment in the digital glow-up timeline.

SmarterChild was cute, clever, and lowkey revolutionary. You could ask it the weather, movie times, dictionary meanings—and it responded. Like, instantly. It was basically the first AI bestie before Alexa, Siri, or ChatGPT ever learned how to serve us answers and attitude. And if you were a tween or teen back then, it was giving… digital diary, homework helper, and sassy sidekick all in one.

So what’s the link to us—today’s digital baddies building beauty brands, passive income pipelines, and faceless empires?

SmarterChild walked so we could run full speed into the AI renaissance—pink glitter folders and all.

Today, you’ve got whole bots writing your blog posts, editing your product descriptions, helping you script your TikToks, and even managing customer service in your DMs. AI ain’t the future—it’s the foundation. But don’t get it twisted: it’s not about letting tech do all the work. It’s about making it work for you. Period.
