Jake Bass, a man who presents himself as the CEO, sparked a wave of criticism on the Internet after praising that he flew with his father to Dubai and paid $ 50,000 to stay in the first class: “470 passengers. Only two in the first class – we.” After the wave of negative reactions on the Internet, Jake Bass acknowledged that he was posting with Chat GPT, “to trigger emotions.”
Jake Blas says he wanted his message in which he talks about the amount spent to fly with his father to the class to be a motivational one.
In the description of the post that aroused a wave of anger he compares his luxury experience with that of the passengers in the economic class. Those who saw his post say that his perspective is an arrogant one, masked in the form of an “inspiration”.
The CEO acknowledged that the post was made with the help of Chat GPT, to “trigger emotions, create division and generate a massive commitment.”
“I just flew with my father to Dubai. The first class. Emirates. Flight of $ 50,000. (Everything else compared to the $ 1,200 I paid before in the economy.) 470 passengers. Only 2 in the first class – we,” Bass wrote at the beginning of his post.
Then he made a comparison with the pilot who adjusts the one -degree direction to avoid turbulence, concluding that “a small change of direction … changes everything.”
The message, meant to inspire, according to Jake Blass, was accompanied by photos with luxury cabins, refined tables and premium accessories, creating a strong contrast that many considered ostentatious than motivational, writes aviation2z.com.
“The difference between you and the 468 back is that they did not waste $ 50,000 on something so temporary ”
The answer from the Internet was quick and overwhelming negative. Many people who saw the post have accused the bass of “greed”, “selfishness” and of being “unbearable”. Many have stressed that the real difference between bass and the other 468 passengers in the economic class does not belong to life choices, but simply for the financial privilege.
“The difference between you and the 468 back is that they did not waste $ 50,000 on something as temporary as a place on a plane,” someone wrote in CEO comments.
Others have questioned the accuracy of the mentioned price and the authenticity of the photographs.
Faced with the wave of critics, bass went even further, giving a flight anywhere in the world to a “lucky” that followed its social media accounts, a movement that critics saw as an attempt to take advantage of the scandal to increase their number of followers (about 2,000 per x and 8,000 on Instagram).
“The algorithm makes me seem insufferable”
Jake Bass explained to The Post that he uses the AI ”as a tool to configure my words so that it is viral for algorithm.”
“The algorithm makes me look like an insufferable,” he said.
Even though he recognized the role of AI in formulating the message, Bass defended the idea behind him.
“I don't think I said something wrong. I shared a perspective, one that causes people to reflect on their own choices, and that makes many uncomfortables,” he said.
A user commented that the post seemed written by an “absolute arrogant, which suggests that those who cannot allow themselves are the victims of their own bad life choices.”
Despite negative reactions, Bass considered media attention as a validation, posting on Instagram Story that all this exposure shows that he “does something good.”
