  • Here’s How AI Can Fix Your Love Life

    Text chatGPT instead of entering a talking stage

    You can text it all day, get fast replies and be sure it won’t ghost you. 

    Become more romantic

    Being a big ball of romance is finally only a few prompts away. Just ask Claude AI to tell you what sweet words to say at every point in time. Isn’t God good all the time?

    Shoot more shots without needing more rizz

    Connected to our previous point, your work rate will go up because dead pickup lines will no longer be part of your story. Think about it.

    Settle every fight before they happen

    Imagine your partner sends you a long pdf about something you did, and you just don’t have the time to read it. You can have AI write you a response in the sweetest tone possible. Just copy-paste, and your relationship problem is solved.

    In fact, your whole relationship can be on autopilot

    Just imagine using an AI chatbot to send replies to your partner all day? You can finally ghost in peace without them even noticing you’re gone.

    More time on your hands

    What if you just want to sleep, and your partner is why you can’t? What if you just want a break without the break-up? With the effective use of AI, you can now eat your cake and have it. 

    Gift ideas won’t require much thought

    You can finally outsource to AI, the answer to the question, “What do you give someone who has everything?” and focus on actually saving to buy that thing. You still score points for being thoughtful.

    You can safely vent at chatGPT

    If you’re the kind of person who has issues with being vulnerable to other humans, how about being vulnerable to a machine that can talk back? Just ask it to mimic your therapist, and you can be rest assured you’re in a safe space.

  • Only People With These 7 Jobs Are Safe From the AI Takeover

    We used to think village people were the problem, and for a period, they might have been. But now, it’s artificial intelligence (AI). While you’re crying and fighting PHCN, shitty internet providers and all the many weapons Nigeria has fashioned against you, your employer is asking ChatGPT to write a draft of your termination letter. 

    So instead of dragging a job with AI, why don’t you just find something it can’t steal? 

    Here are some options for you:

    Popping out babies

    Meme of Nigerian mother asking you to pay her money

    Even if you don’t agree, your Nigerian parents have you as their retirement plan. So maybe it’s time to consider having kids who’ll send you monthly allowances for bringing them to life. The only thing AI will get from Nigerians is unending requests because hospitals don’t have enough space for women’s antenatal, talkless of AI’s.

    Pro: You’ll reap the fruits of your labour literally.

    Con: What if your kids don’t rate you?

    Start selling akara

    Do you know how much people make from selling akara? Sure AI can write a 1500-word article from a single prompt, but you see that roadside akara recipe? It can only be passed down through generations. So get a small space in front of your house, and people will come and beg you to take their money in exchange for hot oily akara. 

    Pro: You’ll only have to work mornings and evenings, and people will pay you in cash.

    Con: There are no cons, please.

    We have proof: 10 Places To Make Over ₦30k Per Day From Selling Akara 


    Open a POS shop

    Meme of pawpaw representing a POS person with the words, "I can do and undo"

    If we’ve seen anything these past few months, it’s that POS people are the real ballers. They don’t just make you beg them to take your money, they’re also quick to change it for you if you try nonsense. So while AI can tell you where the money is, only POS people possess the power needed to actually dispense the cash. 

    Pro: Everybody will be rushing you

    Con: You may have to sleep overnight at the bank to get cash

    Become a bridesmaid or groomsman for hire

    With the number of owambes in Nigeria, this cash cow is waiting to be discovered. Even if you don’t want a wedding, try burial ceremonies; at least you’ll finally be able to put all your tears to good use. The best part is AI will even give you ideas on how to land new clients, because that’s its job.  

    Pro: You get paid to eat free food and party 

    Con: Your weekends are no longer yours

    Enter politics 

    Meme of Buhari holding the frames of his glasses and smiling

    Whether you want to be a politician or an agbero aid, it doesn’t matter. Just have a structure, and you’re good to go. You think AI can compete with the photoshopping, church tours, snatching of ballot boxes or any of the craziness that goes on in Nigerian politics? Lol, AI is all about living the soft life inside behind a screen so it’ll leave all that drama for you to deal with.  

    Pro: You don’t even have to do any work

    Con: They’ll constantly drag you online

    Become a babalawo 

    Meme of Odunlade frowning and dressed as a babalawo

    This job requires little capital; just get a red cloth, black eyeliner, white chalk,a mirror and throw in some cowries for a little razzle-dazzle. We’d like to see an AI attempt to turn someone into a tuber of yam or harvest the left testicle of a mosquito to use for money rituals. 

    Pro: You can punish all your haters
    Con: You’re always a step away from madness

    Become a Zikoko writer 

    Meme of someone pointing in affirmation

    We know AI is great, but it doesn’t have the bandwidth to tell you when you started secondary school or rank Nigerian songs according to twerkability

    Pro: AI can never match your crase

    Con: You’ll have to crase
