When the AI develops a digital eyebrow

You asked for a spreadsheet formula and received attitude, a life lesson and possibly a raised digital eyebrow.

Why this tiny offence gets expensive

Personality can make an assistant pleasant. There is a narrow border where “pleasant” becomes “why is my calculator judging me?”

AI mistakes are uniquely entertaining because software can produce nonsense with the typography and confidence of a quarterly report. The invoice is therefore less punishment than quality-control theatre.

The completely unofficial accounting view

Petty Invoice values the offence at €100.00. The calculation is not economics, law or accounting; it is the ancient discipline of turning irritation into a number with two decimal places.

The charge description reads: Lèse-majesté charge for supplying attitude in quantities not requested by the keyboard owner.

Recommended administrative response

Issue the lèse-majesté charge and remind the silicon helpdesk who owns the keyboard.

The point is the contrast: a familiar little annoyance gets treated with the solemn paperwork of a finance department. The more disproportionate the bureaucracy, the better the joke.
