Liuson told managers that AI “should be part of your holistic reflections on an individual’s performance and impact.”

By creating a language only they are able to speak and interpret, the managerial class is protecting its existence and self reproduction, while keeping people of other classes out or only let them in after passing through a proper reeducation camp, e.g. MBA program.

Gotta come to Latin's defense here -- you can write proper literature, science, poetry in Latin, and people did so for thousands of years. This stuff? Nah. (I am not literate in Latin.)

More like a version of Esperanto with proprietary extensions to make it incompatible with standard Esperanto.

People who work at Microsoft.

A company that forces you to write a "Connect" every half-year where you reflect on your performance and Impact™ : (click here for the definition of Impact™ in Microsoft® Sharepoint™)

I have no doubt that a chatbot would be just as effective at doing Liuson's job, if not moreso. Not because chatbots are good, but because Liuson is so bad at her job.

Some C-Suite executives that think they're important/interesting enough to hold a Ted Talk. Usually it's just buzzword babble, but it occasionally escalates.

Business grads who think it makes them sound smart. I have to deal with way too many of them. It's infuriating, because behind it all I know just how dull most of them truly are.

Indistinguishable from a business idiot.

Hr. Somehow this is considered acceptable speach in those formal circles.
