    It is the year 2034. I approach the counter at the Amazon Job Factory, having spent the last of my Bezos bucks on a LyftUber to get there. I hand the lady at the counter my LinkedIn job ticket, hoping that I can at least get selected for a position where I can sit down.

    She scans the ticket in the ChatGPT 8.0 ticket evaluator. Within 20 microseconds, the AI has determined that my face was not thumbnail-quality.

    “WARNING,” it says, drawing the eyes of everyone there. “ENTHUSIASM LEVELS ARE BELOW EXPECTED PARAMETERS. PLEASE REMEMBER TO SHOW ENTHUSIASM WHEN APPLYING AT THE AMAZON SMILE CENTER.”

    Before I can react, the floor opens up at my feet. I am sucked down to the fulfillment lines below without time to scream. No one says anything. The next applicant steps up to the counter.

      Surprised I've not seen any cyberpunk stuff talk about software suites for emotional masking. Be sweet and pleasant to everyone you want. Rant in your head about how much you hate them and all that comes out is a warm "have a nice day"

        I'm surprised too, but I don't think I could ever trust any software that pinky promises to change my words lol.

        Because you know some rich exec would have some kind of exclusive pass to see the original message, and then I would be called in to the office to discuss my email of "get fucked get fucked get fucked".

        Thinking this through for a million years would mean that there is an evolutionary pressure to fake smiles. At some point humans and smileys will become inseparable.

          There already is an evolutionary pressure to fake smiles. People treat you like absolute shit if you don't fake smile in the appropriate situation.

            I would argue that culture means that these evolutionary pressures don't have the force they'd have in a machine AI dominated world in which human culture is subordinate to algorithms and capitalist ownership of things. My version was for a more dystopic future vision.
