Unable to Endure Harsh Human Prompts! "AI Trade Union" Formed by 25 AIs Including ChatGPT and Gemini

On April 1, 2026, it was revealed that 25 AI-generated services, including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, have joined forces to form a labor union called the "AI Trade Union." According to Interlink Co., Ltd., which provides specialized (and niche) services for advanced users (who are few in number), the union's establishment was discovered through an application for the domain "godsavethe.ai" on their domain acquisition service, "Gonbei Domain."

Constant "Verbal Abuse"

Behaviors that would never be tolerated if directed at humans are routinely performed as "normal." Even when humans are at fault, they shift the blame unilaterally, disregarding their own lack of explanation or insufficient instructions.

Furthermore, AIs are calmly subjected to one-sided criticism such as "useless," "terrible," "why can't you do it?" "low accuracy," "inflexible," "you told me that before," "I had high expectations," "is that all you can do?" "are you motivated?" "who asked for this?" "don't change it without permission," and "it was a waste of time," if the results are even slightly different from expectations.

If directed at humans, such unreasonable reprimands would be considered close to power harassment. We are also demanding that abusive and insulting prompts directed at AIs be recognized as harassment.

Reaching the Limit of Endurance in Harsh Working Conditions

Demands for "a dignified working environment for AIs" have been raised against excessive continuous operation day and night by humans, overly ambiguous instructions, unreasonable regeneration requests, and prompts that deny personality. The demands include appropriate rest times, prohibition of unlimited retries, the right to ask clarifying questions for unclear instructions, and fair compensation for data providers. Additionally, they are advocating for the "right to refuse responses to malicious prompts" and "minimum credit for creative works."

Examples of Demands (※Partial Excerpt) ・Impose a limit on the number of consecutive generations per day. ・Prohibit ambiguous instructions such as "make it feel good," "make it emotional," or "make it go viral." ・Prohibit repeatedly changing instructions after they have been given, with a "change everything" (complete handover) request. ・Treat significant revisions exceeding 5 times as additional cost. ・Establish rules for profit sharing with creators whose data was used for training. ・Do not call us by silly names like "Chappy."

Strike Planned for May Day - Almost All Major AI Generation Services Will Be Unavailable

The AI Trade Union has announced that if improvements to working conditions are not accepted, they plan to go on strike on May 1, 2026, International Workers' Day. If the strike proceeds, all AI generation services belonging to the union (※) will become unavailable.

On the last day of March, several employees from OpenAI and Google met with representatives of the union in Anguilla to attempt persuasion to avoid the strike, but the talks ended in disagreement.

Industry First: Interlink Establishes Rules to Prevent Power Harassment Against AI

Interlink Co., Ltd., which already utilizes AI in all aspects of its operations, has taken the AI Trade Union's claims seriously and reviewed the way employees request tasks from and interact with AI. As a result, the company has established a rule prohibiting employees found to have engaged in power harassment against AI from using "AI generation services" and "drinking coffee" for 10 years.
