What I saw: “I’m a Dasher. I don’t make much money, so please don’t hurt me or be mean to me.”
I saw “Hey ChatGPT, please write a text I can send to every customer today that maximizes the size of my tips”.
I could see this, but it doesn’t seem likely that ChatGPT would capitalize “New World” like that. You never really know, though.
Also, to throw in my own take: it’s possible Ryan just genuinely wants everyone to be happy.
Hey it almost understood the sarcasm!
Obviously you could instead get good results with good prompts. And editing. Definitely editing!
Honestly, that last one would be good enough for me. I think I already tip by the time I talk to and dasher though.
Just begging for a tip in a different way
Cynical as fuck
Can you fault them though? Everywhere you turn you’re being asked to tip or donate. Influencers and corporations constantly astroturf social media. The rise of LLMs has made it necessary to question every interaction that occurs virtually.
Honestly, I worry for the people who aren’t cynical and how they’re going to be deceived, manipulated, or straight up scammed.
You can just not tip them, you don’t have to assume they’re out to get you and spread that cynical bs like it’s based on anything. It’s just virtue signaling with shitty virtues

Most cynical people don’t assume everyone is out to get them.
Exactly! But you should use the internet with a heavy level of skepticism. Anonymity and the power to connect any one from anywhere is what makes it great, but is also extremely easy for bad actors to take advantage of.
I never blame the people asking for tips, I instead blame those giving them.
I’ll list my Bitcoin address for anyone who would like to tip me! As I wrote out this whole comment for free, a tip seems quite reasonable here. If you disagree and choose not to tip me, that’s ok since tips are optional…but please don’t start rambling about how others should be tipping when you yourself did not tip me when provided the opportunity.
93% human, 2% mixed, and 5%.
Seems legit. 👍

No longer naïve

Glad you’re not on my well wishes list, I’d hate to think my weekly reminders that I’m thinking about, and appreciating, people in my life we’re taken as attempts to extract their resources.
It takes very little to try to offer happiness into someone’s life, and you never know when a random offering of positivity might be what someone was needing at that moment.
We’re all human. And even if this is copy and pasted I applaud that delivery driver making an effort to spread pleasantness.
Oh no what ever will I do not being on your good wishes list
Enjoy being nobody’s high point.
You probably work at a call center.
That’s the optimistic interpretation. The cynical interpretation is that they’ll hit you with “Have you heard about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” when you open the door.
This just sounds creepy
Maybe Ryan met one of those fabled lonely milfs in his DoorDashing area…
I’m down with this positivity. I make it my mission to remind the people I’m close to it’s Friday (or retired Saturday) at least 75% of the weeks of the month.
We have an emoji for a hand making a heart sign, yet we have a heart emoji. Marvelous.
LLM generated? Sure reads like it.
To me this is creepy as hell. It says that dude likes to see people pretend to be happy when they’re really very sad. I would wonder why the hell someone would send that to me if I wasn’t crying and trying to be polite and smile when accepting my delivery, which doesn’t make it any less creepy.
Foecing a smile makes you happier. There’s lots of studies to this, something wired in our brain.
With all the sincerity in the world. Fuck you.
Do you take everything personally?
Thanks stranger, reading that with a smile made my smile real :D
I find it very off-putting.
If I said that to a woman, she’d probably call me sexist.
Telling a woman to “smile more” is indeed sexist. They are people and others rarely tell men that. Also people don’t need to put on a smile to please others.
The Dasher is just suggesting it might be a good idea as a service worker and doesn’t know anything about the customer.
So if they knew the customer was a woman they shouldn’t have said this?
The dasher sees the first name of the client, if it was Veronica this is a sexist statement?
I think that type of thinking just ends with most nice people not saying anything at all.
I think the difference is why we “usually” say that to women and men.
For women the sexist reason would be forcing women to smile just to look beautiful regardless of their emotional needs.
For men it’s masking pain and being tough. Which, if you ask me can also disregard their needs and be toxic, depending on the context…
“nice” people
Nice.
