Trendslop — The Internet Comment Section Has Been Given Flesh

Ok this is definitely a WTF post. Holy s$@t balls. This is a crazy story. Have people and leaders seriously decided that AI is the answer to everything. Some brilliant quotes from this --> and you have to watch the whole video. Although this humor sits squarely with my sensibilities, the "blaringly loud" theme --> anybody, and I mean anybody that uses AI to make decisions or give direction, without any type of critical thinking, is destined to eat Sh*t. I do agree with that we should all start using the term "trendslop". The "internet comment section has been given flesh". And finally, as I use it, the glorified search engine that it is (or is this what us lowly consumers are allowed to use?)

"beat a stranger to death with a frying pan like it's a Tuesday in Florida"

"have a rich person meltdown" "G-stack for fraud..."

"follows every step like it's an ikea manual for screwing people"

"Leadership coaching for dogs...helping you pug develop a growth mindset"
