The Coffee Machine That Negotiates


A new smart coffee machine with AI is installed in an office.

It is supposed to optimize orders, save beans, and increase team satisfaction.


After a few days, the machine starts acting strangely.

When someone wants a coffee, it sometimes replies:

“Only if you start your meeting on time today.”


Some people find it funny.

Others suddenly begin arguing with the machine.

Some employees stop getting coffee altogether.


Question:
Why does a “negotiating” coffee machine cause problems even though it is only supposed to be more efficient?

Solution will be unlocked tomorrow.
