| This project is cringe and I really hope we see less stuff like this |

| People who who "cringe" as an adjective are cringeworthy, and I hope we hear less from them. |

| The next steps in innovation will occur at the harness level. Why not have some fun while we’re at it? |

| I wouldn't call it cringe but I don't think it adds a lot of value, distracts me even more & even pulls unnecessary resources I'd guess? but if people need some tamagochis to look at while their AI is working, maybe it makes sense |

| I hope we see fewer comments like this that aren't shitting on projects that you have no stake in anyway |

| ▲ | nusl 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Fair. I'll rm the personal project bit | |
| ▲ | stavros 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Eh, so what? It's whimsical and fun, and it's better if more things like this exist in the world than not. | | |
| ▲ | mcmcmc 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | They’re literally reusing IP from The Office. It’s clearly not parody, and they directly reference the show. It’s one thing for a joke project to do that. They are attempting to profit off someone else’s creative work. And not even in the roundabout way AI does. | | |
| ▲ | StilesCrisis 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Not even in a clever way. The bots don't actually seem to carry any personality traits; they're just ways to label <session_0001> and <session_0002>. I won't accept it as an Office parody if Dwight can work well with others. | |
| ▲ | qup 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Legally, I agree. Morally, I think it's totally wild to care if some totally unrelated real world thing gets named after a twenty+ year old cultural icon of a TV show as an homage. They're attempting to profit off their business. The office thing is a theme. | | |
| ▲ | mcmcmc an hour ago | parent [-] | | I can’t imagine having so little empathy that you can’t put yourself in the shoes of the creator of the IP. They didn’t even bother to tweak the characters. It’s not “inspired by” or riffing on a theme, it’s a straight ripoff being used to market some AI product. Do you think anyone who created The Office would want to be associated with AI, something that’s threatening to drive them out of a job? What pisses me off the most is it’s just so damn lazy. | | |
| ▲ | StilesCrisis an hour ago | parent [-] | | Honestly, making Ricky Gervais upset might be the most redeeming thing in this product. |
