What they’re trying to say: LLMs are better than people sometimes
What they are actually saying: MBAs are just as pointless as you thought they were
Okay, but how does ChatGPT compare when it comes to other essential MBA skills like snorting coke and sexually harassing junior analysts?
Someone tell me how to measure my innovation
It’s a bean can with one of those peel off metal lids but it has two layers. The first layer reveals the second, a built in colander to strain your beans.
Ok, that’s actually an amazing idea. I would love cans like that! And it also seems surprisingly practical. Why don’t bean cans have a layer that peels away to reveal built-in colanders?!
Nah that’s a lot of extra cost per unit and especially waste to have a built in colander tbh
you could have the colander on one side and the opening on the other so you can put it under the faucet
I literally just came up with this to justify clowning on the idea of measuring an idea lol
it’s less wasteful to just buy a little colander lid made out of rubber and then you can use it with whatever can you like, not just beans.
Okay now try it against a productive member of society

LMFAO half this shit is just late night infomercial products. Ironic, because a Chat GPT MBA is just a late night infomercial knockoff of a counterfeit smart person.
two of them are literally just “laundry basket”
I absolutely agree. All of those exist and there is less than this arbitrary 0.57 novelty rating there. Though I have to say that having studied together with MBA students their ideas were on the same level of uselessness. One did tell us in a seminar he had a great idea: What if you could pay with your phone for renting a car at the car you want to use?
Crass idea, back then there were already the first companies who rolled out that thing. He was convinced that his idea would make him money, not getting how capital is what makes you able to profit from ideas in capitalism.
The pinnacle of innovation is a toaster oven
It’s all been invented before yeah but at least some of them are within the past two decades like the smartphone projector or whatever.
Seat cushion Kitchen gloves
But some of this stuff has been around for 50+ years.
I also love how much of it is normal product but with the word college put in front. A clothes hamper? Simple, boring, not innovative. A Collegelife clothes hamper? Genius.
I can make up numbers too, these fucking losers think their numbers mean stuff though
MBA Students: regurgitate a series of well-established strategies for business operations, with minor permutations intended to exploit niche under-
exploitedserved marketsSucks. Lame. No innovation. Bad.
Chat-GPT: recycles buzzword MBA talk into weapons grade gibberish
Brilliant! Gorgeous! Revolutionary! Wonderful!
WHAT IF THING BUT ON THE BLOCKCHAIN
So I trained a ChatGPT discord bot I have to be a stoner who comes up with ridiculous stoned business ideas and one of the ideas was a place where monkeys train kids to ride bikes:
Oh… yeah, dude! I totally got another one. Picture this! A service where we hire a team of monkeys to teach little kids how to ride bikes. Like, they’ll be wearing little t-shirts that say “bike coaches” and they’ll be so good at balancing on those bikes, the kids will be riding like pros in no time! And then, at the end of the lesson, we’ll give the kids a banana and the monkeys will get one too! We’ll call it “Monkey Bikes” or something like that, man. It’s genius!
This is the “innovation” they speak of.
I used to think the idea that most reddit comments were chat bots to be ridiculous. I no longer believe so.
To be fair, the training data and quality of the chatbots has massively improved
(Repost bots on the other hand…)
This is so cool, where did you get the data to train the model like a stoner lol
I’m using this cog on Red V3 Discord bot: https://github.com/zhaobenny/bz-cogs/tree/main/aiuser
It allows you to set a per server prompt (which decides its personality), so I have different personalities depending on which server it’s in. One is a stoner, another is a super kawaii ai bot (a super ado-wabwe, squishy widdle bean with a bubbwy personality who woves spreading happiwickles and making heawts woom with joy! 🥺✨💖 giggles cutely) that posts with lots of emoji and uwu speak. A third is an angry English ruffian who talks with a thick cockney accent and randomly starts fights.
New bit idea: use ChatGPT to build word salad about revolutionary productivity solutions, get on Shark Tank, and show up with a one slide PowerPoint deck that just says
PAY PEOPLE FAIRLY
Then a guillotine is rolled out and the rest is history 😉
Innovative = An elevator pitch idea using the correct ratio of current corpo-trend buzzwords that would convince clueless VCs with more funds than brains to invest in.
a human would struggle to come up with “noise canceling headphones”
Am I missing something? These aren’t innovative ideas, they’re products and ideas that all already exist.
“Grocery Helper” is literally a hook on my 40 year old swiss army knife. I use it all the time.
And it’s all shit college students would want. I should read the article more fully, lol.
In fairness, the MBA ideas are all awful
Compact printer
Truly a revolutionising idea that no mere human coup come up with without the bazinga power of AI.
That would be funny if MBAs try to use AI to automate away workers, but they end up automating away themselves.
Now ask it to cite 2 real life studies and its authors
How is innovation measured? What are the units for innovation?
Getting ~20 people on mechanical Turk to rate a 70 word description of a product on a scale of very unlikely to buy to very likely to buy
The same way “utilitons” are measured by capital-R “Rationalists.”
That is to say, they make shit up that fits what they want to believe.
Chat bots should replace mbas in the workplace ASAP. Would save a lot of money, and somehow come up with less useless ideas
They don’t even realize what this actually means lol it’s amazing.
