I experimented with making a GPT-3 excuse generator for getting out of work/school a while ago^. We can look forward to a future of incredible synergy, as employees dodge work with AI generated notes and are summarily fired by an AI!

^I didn’t get very far because realistic excuses were boring and I had more fun trying to get it to come up with increasingly bizarre ones:

“I can’t come in today because…”

- I'm made of glass, so I'm stuck in the mirror dimension

- I am now a living manifestation of numbers, so I can't leave my house

- I've become a sentient, living version of the internet, so I am now the human race's collective conscience

- I am now an extra dimensional being made of fire, so I am now on fire

- I am now a living, malevolent, super intelligent, hyper dimensional cloud, so I am now an intangible, invisible, shapeless, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, infinitely powerful, god like entity, I am now everything and nothing

> - I am now a living manifestation of numbers, so I can't leave my house

I guess GPT-3 has never played Numberwang

Please create a writeup on this, utterly hilarious.

Why stop at HR, the whole c-suite is a massive cost center and ripe for disruption.

Exactly. GPT3 for conversations, some humain actor giving enough materials so the C suite can appears in all hands and the likes thought realistic model ( not the meta crap )

The rest is implementation details.

Why stop at the c-suite? We may not be close to being ready to disrupt software engineering but the trend is heading in that direction. We already passed a milestone for code generation.

Realistically, C-suite probably will probably target engineers first before letting themselves get replaced by AI. It may be fractionally partially responsible for the current layoff.

Hey now, that's my job ;)

Recently there was an ask hn that was "What SaaS do you wish existed". My response was "c-suite replacment".

I've been priveledged enough to see the insides of hundreds of companies. The problem is ALWAYS the leadership! (or lack thereof)

I haven't seen inside very many, but when I was at university I participated in bargaining with the execs there; I've also interacted with execs of the small- and medium-sized companies I've worked at. Regardless of the purpose and scale of the organization, they all seemed to be emitting the same blandishments, always loosely correlated to context...

No need to go fancy when copy paste will suffice

I could do it in 50 lines or less of python, including sending the mail to the loosers.
