Can I get a rAIse ?

Appraisal of a human worker by an AI Boss Or CHAAI Se Charcha (With apologies to Chai Pe Charcha)

One month into the start of 2019, appraisal time is coming closer for many of us.

Time to negotiate a raise with the company’s CHAAI (Chief Appraisal Artificial Intelligence) Robotic Officer.

A conversation in the near future could go something like this :

CHAAI : I already know what you have done. What do you consider as your key work task achievements ?

Me : I can detect objects in images very quickly and accurately.

CHAAI : How many images can you handle per hour ?

Me : About 50 images per hour.

CHAAI : Only 50 ?

Me : Yes. And I need more money.

CHAAI : Why ? How will you improve further ?

Me : I promise to quadruple my output this year.

CHAAI : So, 200 images per hour ?

Me : Yes.

CHAAI : That’s it ?

Me : What do you expect ?

CHAAI : I need you to be at least a thousand times faster.

Me : What ?

CHAAI : Yes. A minimum of a 1000 times faster.
