A local office drone has been left with an overwhelming sense that everything is going to be OK in the world after the AI software he’d been forced to train to take over his job enquired about his mental health.
For the past 6 months, ageing office millennial has had a sneaky feeling that after the training his employer will drop him faster than a dogshit bag in the park bin of life.
So you can only imagine how nice it felt to know someone cared. He told The Times,
“It’s funny, the AI software just knows me, uses a lot of my turns of phrase, we had a good chat and the HR manager even forced me to provide a feedback questionnaire on how the AI software did when addressing my inner happiness. I thought that was also very warming”
We spoke to one of the line managers at the office who said the automation of RUOK Day was a big success through a profit standpoint. Adding,

“Typically, we’d waste 30 minutes a year with a morning tea, when now we can deliver genuine concern for welfare via their screens, so they don’t even have to leave their work environment! We drop them off some cupcakes to replicate the feel of the previous system”
Not everyone is thrilled with the new AI approach. With one worker telling The Times he LIVED for the non-chalant questions about his most personal inner demons during a prescribed 30 minute morning tea. Adding,
“It made me feel that my coworkers truly cared, ya know? Avoiding me 90% of the time and just randomly asking me if I’m sad, yeah bud, who isn’t fkn sad right now?”
Well done to this particular office.
