One thing that stuck out to me reading this was the constant reference to various AI agent's by a name.

It made me step back and think about how some of these AI products are named and I honestly prefer when a product isn't named like a person. Just to think of two: you have "Claude" and "Alexa" which gives the impression you are speaking to a person when you very very much are not.

I gotta say I kind of prefer the name "ChatGPT" that OpenAI went with. It doesn't try to pretend it's a human with it's naming and also describes what it is in it's name.

If anyone is interested in a longer form version of this sort of story I’d highly recommend Ken Liu’s The Perfect Match.

Wait, they are going to return to cubicles in 2030? Sounds awesome ;)

Perfectly realistic except the ending: why would anybody pay humans to generate voiceovers in 2030s, when AI can already do the job?

“All the doors in this spaceship have a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done.”

As the door closed behind them it became apparent that it did indeed have a satisfied sigh-like quality to it. “Hummmmmmmyummmmmmm ah!” it said.

I was hoping this was about FM-2030’s morning routine. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be much information online about/if he did anything particularly unique.

The future is going to have a lot more speaker grilles with screwdriver stab marks in them.

Reminds me of the movie "Demolition Man", where everything was assisted by AIs.

Not enough ads and push to spend, I'm afraid.

Did anyone else got a 15MM tingling feeling in the beginning of reading this or was it just me?

Neo-Luddism is going to be a popular term in the years to come.

> Real coffee costs more than your coffee maker nowadays, so it has to suffice.

That’s definitely the bad place

This is classified as satire but it's not much so, we're already halfway there.
