at work we are recommended to put things through AI to sound more ⚡️E X E C U T I V E ⚡️🔥🔥🔥🤙

so you do something like, "Got new images from design" and it'll rephrase to "Aligned on tactical operations with communications dept and successfully launched adoption of new collateral"

It's been eye-opening to see how much "leadership" is just "heavily reword simple things into complicated language to make them sound more impressive"

I've been thinking this for years. After I manage to descramble management's latest directives into something comprehensible I like to break it down in team meetings so we can all make fun of it together.

We have an AI tool that is apparently supposed to improve the tone of voice and shorten messages. It turns my short sentence into a paragraph with a bunch of pointless extra words.

Did you also struggle to get up to the word/paragraph/page count on essays in school?
