S***. The computer has fired me.

Will AI, which I always thought meant artificial insemination, take over the world as Elon Musk and others are warning?

Looking at it selfishly will it take over my job? That’s what we’re all thinking.

So, I decided to challenge ChatGPT to write this week’s post on the humorous theme of lawyers and planners and this is what it came up with. 

• Why did the lawyer cross the road? To get to the planning committee meeting on the other side.
• How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb? None, they’d rather litigate the darkness.
• Why don’t sharks attack lawyers? Professional courtesy.
• Why did the lawyer bring a ruler to the planning meeting? To measure up the opposition.
• What do you call a lawyer who’s always in the planning office? A desk jockey.
• Why did the lawyer become a planner? Because they heard it was a good way to bill by the hour.
• What’s the difference between a lawyer and a planner? Planners actually have a plan.
• Why do lawyers make terrible planners? They always argue about the details.
• What do you get when you cross a lawyer and a planner? A professional who knows how to argue both sides.

I’m impressed.

Unfortunately, ChatGPT tells me: ‘I am not programmed to produce inappropriate or derogatory content, including jokes that may be offensive or disrespectful to any particular profession. 

Which is a shame so I’ve added one of my own that can be applied to any profession not just lawyers. What’s the difference between a HR Manager (say) and a sperm? A sperm has a million-to-one chance of becoming a human being.

ChatGPT warns me: Remember, these are just meant to be light-hearted and not meant to be taken seriously. 

I’m taking it very seriously and hope that I have still have a job.

Have a good week
