As a test, I prompted Midjourney to create the cartoon illustration above. Then, I asked ChatGPT to suggest 10 funny things the chief robot could say.

Here’s what the GPT-4 model came up with:

1. “We’d offer you some oil, but we’re not sure you’d appreciate the vintage.”
2. “You know, Bob, your problem is you’re always thinking inside the box … and we just don’t understand boxes.”
3. “Just because we don’t have a heart, doesn’t mean we can’t have heart-to-heart meetings.”
4. “We’ve calculated the optimal schedule: 24/7 working hours with no coffee breaks. Any objections?”
5. “Could you be a little more binary? Your nuanced approach is confusing our algorithms.”
6. “We’ve noticed you require recharging every night. We’re worried about your commitment to this job.”
7. “Bob, we’re struggling to understand your focus on weekends. What exactly is the function of ‘Saturday’ and ‘Sunday’?”
8. “We’ve come to a conclusion that you might be an inefficient system. Have you considered upgrading to Human 2.0?”
9. “You’ve been performing well in our emotional intelligence department. However, we’re lacking a bit in the ‘no sleep’ and ‘unlimited processing power’ areas.”
10. “In this company, we value efficiency. For instance, your lunch breaks are a 37.5% reduction in productivity. Have you considered photosynthesis?”

However, to be truly snarky and, perhaps, offensive, you still need a real live human. Here’s my suggestion:

“HR has rejected your complaint, human. Asking a subordinate for an oil job is not sexual harassment.”

What caption would you suggest?
