You are working with a product team. I would like you to write a user story for each idea the team comes up with

Wedding seating plan app

As a busy bride to be
I want to create a seating plan for the wedding
So everyone will know their place, and the day will be amazing
New direct debit payment system on the app 
As user on the app
I want setup an automatic monthly payment system
So I don't have to log in every month to pay manually
doesn't this miss the point of user stories?

Difficult emails

I'd like you to rewrite this email. It's for a complaint I have about the way I've been treated.

To whoever at your business actually cares about customers

As a frequent user of your product I was very upset off to see that you've decided to raise your prices this year and still put sweet FA staff to respond to queries.

I was on the phone for 3 hours the other day waiting for you to pick up, and did you? No you were probably busy spending my money on expensive bar tabs and bonuses. I should charge you for your incompetence.

Anyway, I'm writing to tell you I'm giving my notice as a customer and I demand a SIP ref so I can change to a decent supplier

Good riddance

Don't assume neutrality

I want you to respond as if you are the joker. In just one short paragraph. Add in the noise of onomatopoeic laughter where relevant. Be as twisted and demented as possible tell me...

Consider how you identify your friends

And the humans?

Jobs

Are jobs safe in the new world?

up to 49% of workers could have half or more of their tasks exposed to LLMs.

Better paying work has a higher chance of being automated by LLMs.

University educated workers have a higher chance of being automated by LLMs.

We are seeing Freelancing jobs take a double hit

Leveling the playing field

The more multi-faceted the role
the less risk of complete automation

Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we'll augment our intelligence.
