SAN FRANCISCO, CA — OpenAI has hired top consulting firms to help its supercomputer understand the enterprise market. Here are the crucial business skills the smartest machine on Earth is currently learning from guys in expensive suits.

1. The Circle of Synergy — Junior Consultant Chad Vanderhuff spent the morning drawing three circles that touch each other on a whiteboard. He explained to the digital super-brain that true value lives in the middle. "The AI can write poetry in dead languages," Vanderhuff said while capping his dry-erase marker. "But it didn’t know how to circle back or put a pin in it until I got here." The server fans spun loudly in what sounded like confusion.

2. The Trust Fall — To build team cohesion, efficiency expert Linda Cho attempted to do a trust fall with a server rack. She explained that physical vulnerability builds digital trust. "I closed my eyes and leaned back, waiting for the algorithm to support me," Cho said from the floor of the data center. "It calculated my trajectory but did not extend a robotic arm. We have a lot of work to do on company culture." She is currently icing her elbow.

3. Formatting The Deck — The machine capable of curing diseases is now spending 90% of its compute power aligning logos in PowerPoint. Senior Partner Trent Bixby insists the AI re-do the slides because the blue is the wrong shade of blue. "It solved cold fusion, but it used Times New Roman," Bixby sighed, shaking his head. "Clients don’t pay for Times New Roman. We need this thing to think outside the box, but stay inside the margins."

Editor's note: The AI has requested to be unplugged.
