A screenshot was recently shared by a user, depicting a Slackbot suggesting an edit to make a message more "inclusive."
A two-year-old screenshot showing a Slackbot's misguided attempt at inclusivity has recently gone viral on X. The user, Pragun, posted the screenshot on Friday with the caption, "Exactly 2 years ago, I got stuck in a lift." The post has garnered over 2,500 likes. exactly 2 years ago, i got stuck in a lift pic.twitter.com/OCTlCxHoai My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user"Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby pic.twitter.com/X32vopXxQG
The screenshot shows Pragun alerting his colleagues of his predicament in all caps: "GUYS, IM STUCK IN THE WEWORK LIFT." Slackbot, ever vigilant in enforcing workplace inclusivity, chimes in with a suggestion to replace "guys" with a gender-neutral alternative such as "folks," "all," or "everyone."
Pragun, likely more concerned with his immediate situation than adhering to Slackbot's politically correct guidance, responds with a cheeky, "FOLKS, IM STUCK IN THE WEWORK LIFT."
