I'd understand calling it dismissive if your didn't choose as counterpoints:

- your mother visiting your sister (arguably extremely low stake. At any moment she can just phone your sister I presume ?)

- You traveling around (you're not trying to close a business deal or do anything irreversible)

Basically you seem to be agreeing that it's fine for convenience, but not ready for "science fiction" level use cases.
