just called ai "the mediocrity machine" in a meeting and a tech bro is twitching so hard he can't even plug this into the mediocrity machine so it can tell him how to respond

@ElleGray Oh, "the mediocrity machine" is painfully accurate.

I mostly see AI being used now by those who can't reach "mediocre" otherwise, or would happily go for "mediocre, but cheaper" over "good".

It just cuts to the core of the current situation.

@sgf @ElleGray Could say that's the driving force behind it, making vacuous statements of knowledge with nothing to back it up, where "good enough" is good enough.
