    The one chat goes something like this?

    Two economists are walking through a farm. One tells the other "hey if you eat some of that shit on the ground I'll give you $100". So the second guy does it, and the first one hands over the $100. A few minutes later they pass more shit, and the second guy says to the first guy "if you eat some of that shit I'll give you $100 too", so the second guy does it and gets his $100. After a while, the first guy says "wait, did we just eat shit for nothing? No one made any money" and the second guy replied "of course not, we added $200 to the GDP!"

    It's like that game were you whisper into one persons ear and they pass in on. By the end the message is completely different.

    Management loves AI because management's job is to write emails and reports, not to actually communicate meaningful information.

    Normalise terse and succinct communication and life will be less fucking stupid. The problem does not reside in the tool but in our garbage culture of waste.

    It's like file compression, but the other way round.

    The question is: the bullet point written and the bullet point read will differ.

    Most of the time yes. But sometimes no. Only way to know for sure is to read the original point.

    The truly hilarious thing in this scenario is that the bullet point he wrote and the bullet point she gets will be completely different. Their communication will be literally lost in translation.

    So is that what they call "garbage in, garbage out"?

    And the one bullet point that comes out was not the one bullet point the original person put in!

    If a job can be done by AI it’s probably a bullshit job.

    I predicted this 6 years ago. It's automating corpo email ceremonies. Now all we need is to turn this into a chat app for this.
