Show HN: Don't Lose Your Cool – Use this when your coworkers piss you off

2 pointsby antdkeover 2 years ago
Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;ve been tinkering with GPT-3 over the past week and it&#x27;s inspiring a bunch of fun ideas. And this lil toy app is one of them:<p>It basically turns that angry email or Slack message you want to send to that co-worker that&#x27;s gotten on your last nerve into something more polite and professional.<p>It lets you say what you mean without losing your cool (or your job).<p>Released it on Twitter last night[0] and got a nice response from people. So I figured I should share it on HN.<p>Currently ~100 messages have been sent on my app in the past 12 hours. Pretty neat :)<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;antdke&#x2F;status&#x2F;1608717888290172933?s=20" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;antdke&#x2F;status&#x2F;1608717888290172933?s=20</a>

Ha! This is fun. It’s not perfect yet, though. This message would’ve been directed at someone who failed to produce something before a deadline they set themselves:<p>_ Are you fucking kidding me? You said it was supposed to take a week! What do you expect me to tell the client? When do you think it’ll be ready – for real this time? _<p>And this is what your app came up with:<p>_ I apologize that the timeline did not go as planned. I understand that this delay may have caused issues for you and the client. Could you please provide me with a new timeline or estimated time of completion? Thank you for yourhelp. _<p>So it tries to apologize for the mistake of the receiver, which is funny. Also note the missing space. In any case, cool stuff!
