If AI Handled Delicate Situations in Your Life

For those harnessing AI to enhance their writing capabilities, certain instances may reveal the unmistakable imprint of AI. These instances could be an overabundance of adjectives, an oddly mechanical analogy, or verbiage that seems excessively complex. A humorous illustration of this phenomenon was an article I encountered today in The New Yorker, amusingly titled "If A.I. Handled Delicate Situations in Your Life".

I'm not going to try to summarise everything, but I've highlighted some of the best ones and included verbatim below:

Telling someone that I gave them an S.T.I.

A.I.: It is I, your recent sexual partner. I enjoyed meeting you on Tuesday, July 25, 2023, at Lucky Saloon. Subsequently, an S.T.I. test has yielded a positive result. One in twenty females aged eighteen to twenty-four has an S.T.I., so your exposure is statistically likely, as a sexually active heterosexual male. I’ve hyperlinked a C.D.C. fact sheet for your reference. Please reach out if you would like to sing a duet together at another karaoke night in the future.

Texting my roommate who never does the dishes.

A.I.: Broderick, you have broken the social contract of living in a shared space, which stipulates that one must clean their dishes before bacteria contaminates the area. My empirical evidence of your failure to do so includes the formerly-nonstick-but-now-stick pan, wherein you deep-fried Oreos.

E-mailing my boss to apologise for farting during a meeting.

A.I.: I wish to offer my apologies for my loud flatulence during our recent all-hands meeting. It was not my intention to fart when Kevin announced the quarterly sales. The decibel level was unprofessional, however it did not surpass seventy dB, which could result in hearing damage. I plan to take immediate measures to improve my gut health by adding kimchi into my diet, whose lacto-fermentation process creates an environment for healthy bacteria.

Breaking up with someone for being too into tarot.

A.I.: After our brief time cohabitating on an intimate level, I have decided to terminate our relationship, owing to your excessive interest in the “art of tarot.” Although a healthy partnership often involves indulging each other’s hobbies, your suggestion that the Nine of Swords indicated my relationship with my female best friend was “problematic” has led me to conclude that the sexual benefits of this partnership do not outweigh its tarot-related drawbacks. Please promptly remove your crystals, incense, and sage from my apartment, and vacate the premises by noon.

Writing a note to leave on the parked car I just hit.

A.I.: I apologise for sideswiping your Toyota Prius. Owing to my genetically poor depth perception, I was not able to accurately assess the space available to parallel park. I was also momentarily distracted by the singing of the recording artist known as SZA, whose latest album spent ten nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. I understand the importance of accountability. If my current bank balance exceeded three hundred and forty dollars, I would cover the damages.

Telling my friend that her boyfriend sucks.

A.I.: As it is a matter of geometric concern, I am obligated to bring to your attention the asymmetry of your partner’s face. The specimen in question also lacks a sense of humour. For example, when I joked, “Lovely day outside,” during the monsoon last week, he looked befuddled. As humour is a mark of intelligence, this encounter suggests that his I.Q. is sub-average. I urge you to reflect on these shortcomings and make the decision best suited for your long-term emotional health.
