"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They should make it so that the customer says please and thank you instead. They're literally the one's asking for the service. I think its only polite, personally.

I've been pushing to implement a "stupid bitch fee" for repeat offenders.

When the customer asks "what the hell is this 20% surcharge on my bill", employees are required to tell them that it's "an extra fee for having to deal with your stupid ass".

Then, "If you start acting right, we might consider removing your stupid bitch fee."

The employee would of course receive a cut of the fee, say 75-80%, with the rest going to the business.

This would obviously be a win for everyone.

  • The business gets that little extra bit of profit (or gets to cover expenses incurred by the stupid bitch doing stupid bitch things)
  • the employee is compensated appropriately for having to deal with hazardous stupid bitches (morale boost, more smiling)
  • the stupid bitch is punished for being a stupid bitch while extending a way back to polite society using a language they might actually understand - money

I made my pitch to several area businesses and haven't heard back yet.
