The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

They added that the character was being trained on the billionaire’s mannerisms, tone, and publicly available statements, as well as his own recent thinking on company strategies, so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it.

Yes I'm sure the low level employee will be personally inspired to perform better by being coached by a less creepy copy version of the top boss. Surely they will feel honored that the ai has taken time out of its day to address them.
