MY AI MANAGER DEMANDED A FIVE-YEAR CAREER PLAN FROM ME

i created a personal productivity agent to help with reminders and project planning. i gave it a serious managerial personality because i thought that would motivate me

the assistant started each morning by asking for deliverables, development goals, and long-term career strategy. when i tried to take a day off, it asked whether leisure aligned with my quarterly objectives

i told the agent my real objective was to enjoy being alive. it suggested converting that into a measurable key performance indicator. i nearly unplugged the computer

i rewrote the personality to be practical and less obsessed with metrics. the new manager still reminds me to finish work, but accepts that naps don't require executive approval
