The Picard Maneuver
People TwitterImagine 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?
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
