Imagine receiving an AI written email from your coworker just titled “I need you”
horrifying“Sounds good, thanks.”
no literally
We’re less than five years out from a crappy hallmark rom-com where two co-workers hate each other, but their digital assistants keep inserting romantic entendre into their emails, leading to all sorts of wacky hijinks and eventually, inexplicably, true love.
I’ve read a sci-fi novella with this very premise. Indian guy uses an AI guide designed by his roommate to pick up (sparse, almost non-existent) indian girls. He catches one with a cheesy pickup line to do with a TV show, but it turns out the girl’s AI was the one interested, and not the girl herself.
In the end, the AI bots fall in love, but the guy is crushed when he finds out the girl just wants to play the field a little (girls are rare in this setting). Frustrated with his efforts, the guy decides to go out dancing with his roomate, who liked him more than a friend all along
That sounds like a better version lol. Do you remember what it was called?
I don’t, that’s the crushing part. I remember it was a guy who also wrote a story about spring-powered vehicles, or about a bollywood dancer getting married to an AI until she cheats on it with a real human at which it crashes a satellite onto her lovers house
He was a talented writer, very english sounding name, fascinated with India I think
the AIs falling in love instead sounds amazing
“I have to go”
AI Assistant tell HR my mom is calling me for dinner
“Ok, thanks”.
My coworker and I have a game where we sometimes respond to each other’s messages with MicroSoft Teams’ suggested replies and try to guess/notice when the other person chooses it
I need you.
How often do you get it right?
Also, legendary username right there!
The generic ones with proper punctuation and capitalization are easy to tell. There was “That’s weird” or something that I sent which was itself was weird enough to not seem like it was autogenerated.
I’d send it to HR just in case. Can’t be too careful for those things.
Dear Larry from HR,
The email AI is trying to seduce you, not me. As evidence, I am producing the following screenshots and a list of cheap motels near our office that rent by the minute, I shouldn’t need a full hour. Love and kisses, (☞ຈل͜ຈ)☞ YMCA supervisor Gary McGaryson
Ps, please tell your mother’s cat I said pspsps
You failed the charisma check, go straight to jail
base remotes in, finally fixes and deduplicates outlook
“HOUSTON I NEED YOU”
