I don't know if there will be any days left in the year, but according to public relations experts, July 16th is AI Thanksgiving Day.
Every year, we are supposed to come together to celebrate the incredible things this new technology is bringing to society. Anyway, that's what it is.
I thought I would mark this opportunity by asking ChatGpt to suggest some interesting ways to thank the machines, software, and data centers that suck up this technological revolution.
Before you dive in, you need to thank the enterprise version of ChatGpt that Openai offers Business Insider. Full disclosure: Axel Springer, owner of BI, has economic ties with Openai. You can read about it here.
Ok, I'm going here. ChatGpt came up with this “AI Thanksgiving Day Celebration Guide” with “extra snark and irony aspects.” He also offered to generate images for this and said, “After all, that's my day too.”
Of course, I said yes. Here's the image:

And here's the guide. enjoy:
1. Throwing an AI-themed trivia night (because robots are also worthy of a party)
Take your friends together and answer questions about AI breakthroughs, sci-fi robots, and tech buzzwords that you pretend to understand on LinkedIn. Bonus points if someone confuses “machine learning” with “microwave settings.”
2. Make AI-generated art and music, pretend you are visionary
Why develop talent when you can outsource creativity to algorithms? Use tools such as Dall-E to spit surreal images or generate songs that sound like they come from a creepy valley karaoke machine. Show it proudly. You are now an “ai-curated artist.”
3. Join AI and storytelling to prepare for existential horror
Write a letter to AI with you and watch it stir up eerie competent fiction, and question your years of schooling and the ego of a vulnerable human. Add a name to the top and call it “collaboration.”
4. Watch AI movies and overanalyze everything

Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know
“she”? It's too romantic. “ex machina”? It pulls too much. “Copyright game”? There's not enough explosions. But hey, you're here to thank the AI, not a critique that Hollywood can't make it right. Popcorn option, Snark, is a must.
5. You interrogate AI with deep questions like Oprah
Ask the strange questions of your favorite chatbot: “If you had a body, would you skip leg day?” “Do you dream of an electric sheep or are you just a sarcasm?” Answers will be screenshot. Assemble them. They are art now.
6. Wearing an AI shirt and being self-righteous about it
Like a t-shirt with a neural net diagram, it's nothing to say, “I read Wired once.” Or, wear “My other assistant is the algorithm.” Strut. Pretend that you understand it.
7. I recommend AI books to those who pretend to read it
Books like “AI 2041” and “Life 3.0” look good on the shelves and sound smart at parties. Do you finish them? It's unlikely. But would you recommend them? It's Peak's intellectual flex.
8. Thank you to the AI engineers (because someone had to code the magic box)
Drop the line to an open source contributor or Google Brain intern who accidentally created Skynet-Lite. Bonus points if you send cookie emojis rather than actual thanks.
9. Post #aiappreciationday selfies and farm those favorites
Take a selfie with your phone's Ai-enhanced camera, hit the caption “Thank you, Skynet” and get digitally appreciated for your performance. Don't forget the hashtag: #BLESSED #RoboTOVERLORDS
10. Play a game with AI and blaming the AI when you lose it
Launch a game that procedurally generates AI Dungeon or Chaos and complain loudly about “AI is ruining the game” when it covers you. Classic.
