Boss Is A Jerk

Open source transcript

I CREATED A MOBILE APP THAT TURNS JERKS INTO POLITE PEOPLE.

IT BLOCKS ALL SARCASM AND PASSIVE AGGRESSIVENESS SO YOU CAN'T SEND THOSE KINDS OF MESSAGES.

IT ALSO DELETES MANIPULATIVE AND SCHEMING LANGUAGE.

AND THE FACT - CHECK OPTION BLOCKS YOU FROM TEXTING ANYTHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY FALSE.

CAN I TRY IT?

IT MUST BE BROKEN BECAUSE EVERYTHING I TYPE DISAPPEARS.

I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO FIND OUT THIS WAY.

AI Analysis

Title: "The Jerk-Removing App"

Summary:

The comic strip follows Dilbert, a bespectacled man with black hair, as he encounters an app that promises to remove jerks from polite people's lives. However, upon installing the app, he discovers that it also deletes manipulative and scheming language, and he is unable to send messages.

The app's creator, a man in a red shirt, explains that it blocks all sarcasm and passive-aggressiveness, but Dilbert finds this to be a problem. He tries to use the app, but it keeps deleting his messages, leading him to conclude that it must be broken because everything he types disappears.

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of technology being able to solve all our problems, and highlights the challenges of communication in the digital age. It also touches on the theme of censorship and the importance of free speech.
