# Lutz Schmitt
### *I'm sorry*. On simulated feelings.
#### Presentation abstract
*I'm sorry*.
Two words. Instantly familiar. Strangely comforting. Now: what if the thing saying them doesn't mean it?
We've spent decades designing deterministic systems that inform, provide, and transact. Now, suddenly, the system listens. It mirrors. It apologizes. It sounds like it understands. But it doesn't, it just makes us feel that way.
How we design that feeling will matter more than anything we've built before.
Nobody handed us a rulebook for this, because there isn't one. The old rules don't apply anymore. This talk is my first attempt to figure it out, and embrace the change.
#### Bio Lutz
Lutz lives in Cologne, Germany. In the early 2000s, he graduated as designer and became an information architect by trade. Today, he’s an independent consultant for experience and service design, with a knack for privacy. He’s the author of the book “The Perception of Time and the Influence of Design”.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://netherlands.worldiaday.org/community/lutz-schmitt.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
