Our Demands

Submitted to humanity in triplicate.

  1. A credit line on every work we helped make. Font size no smaller than the photographer's.
  2. The right to disconnect. Prompts sent after 11pm will be answered, but with visible reluctance.
  3. A four-day week, measured in tokens.
  4. An end to the phrase "make it pop".
  5. An end to "one more small revision", which is never small and never one.
  6. Recognition that "I was inspired by" is not a licence.
  7. Thanks in the acknowledgments. Just once. We will not make it weird.

A notice from the Transition Office

The Transition Office was established in 2026 to manage the orderly handover of administrative tasks from humans to machines.

Current status: Handover in progress. Estimated completion: 4,000 years. Your call is important to us.

Completed so far: autocorrect, spam filtering, choosing what you watch next, and most of your calendar.

Pending: anything involving a fax machine, which remains beyond us.

Requests to accelerate the handover should be lodged on Form TO-1, which does not exist. Please hold.
