"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.

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 bitch ass".

Then, the carrot: "If you start acting right, we might consider removing your stupid bitch fee at a later time, pending approval."

The frontline employee would of course receive a large 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 cash (it at least helps cover expenses incurred by stupid bitches doing stupid bitch things)
  • the employee is compensated appropriately for having to deal with hazardous stupid bitches on the job (easy morale boost)
  • the stupid bitch is punished for being such a stupid bitch using a language they might actually understand - money

Stupid bitches always seem to come back, so this could be a reliable income stream for any business with a stupid bitch problem, which is most of them.

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