Link: I think I’m working for an AI : r/ChatGPT

A Redditor shared a peculiar story on the ChatGPT subreddit about suspecting they might be working for an AI. They narrated how they picked up a gig through a Craigslist ad which involved photographing a home for its listing.

The job paid well and seemed straightforward, but the communications with the client were unusual. When they talked on the phone, there was a noticeable delay in the client's responses.

Following the initial call, all further interactions were conducted via text, with messages being brief and repetitive. The poster found it strange that the client would only respond with short phrases like "sounds good!" or "Great thanks!"

Whenever they tried to call the client, the response was invariably that he was in a meeting. This seemed suspicious as it happened every single time without fail.

After completing the jobs, the options for payment were consistently "cashapp, Zelle, or PayPal," followed by a promise that payment would be processed within 24 hours. Payments were indeed made promptly.

The Redditor expressed their bewilderment over these repetitive and scripted interactions, sparking a discussion on whether AI might be involved. This story highlights the intriguing and sometimes ambiguous nature of remote work interactions. #
