Wait, what the fuck?

What is going on here?!

Okay, you might be wondering: "What the fuck is this site?". That's a fair question.

Well, it's an experiment and to be very frank: It's pure AI slop. But wait, there is more. Some stuff on this page is real. It's actual content from actual consulting companies. They put it online like that. I didn't make it up, I just made sure it isn't overly self-referencing (yeah, tell me about it) and mixed it in with the rest. Scarily, it's not obvious which bits are and which bits aren't.

At least I hope you find that scary. If not: Yeah, no, I too love the revolution of synergies brought upon the enterprise ecosystem by frontier generative AI systems. (Picture me nodding reassuringly)

Anyway - how did this happen? Why is this here?

Number one: I see far too many people being far too excited about flooding the internet with AI slop. I don't want it, I don't think anyone wants it, yet there are people pumping it out like it's a gold rush.

But Martin, you've now done exactly that.

Yeah, but to point out that this is bullshit. I mean, look at it, that's in the fucking domain name.

Number two: I wanted to see if people can tell which parts of this website are real (and have been taken from very dead-serious big business corporations) and what's just AI slop. I'm being fair and state the sources where such sources exists, so it's trivial if you scroll to the end of a page, but ask yourself: Without this, would you have spotted the difference?

Number three: It's fun, the domain was available, it made me laugh. Maybe you laughed, too. Have fun, don't take yourself - or this - too serious, life's too short for that shit.

Look at this and tell me this isn't bullshit

So yeah, of these for text excerpts, I took two from real, actual, look-at-me-I-am-big-business articles and two from shit AI made up. The difference is marginal - at best. I wrote about that a bit on my blog and it struck me: Slop is slop. Even if this is human-generated slop, it's still slop.

A lot of the corp speak and business-bananas we're all laughing about (I sincerely hope even the dudes-in-suits and guys-in-ties do, once they leave the office, but I'm less sure every day) is effectively slop.

Slop, you say?

Well, that's a relatively new term but the underlying concept has been around. It's formulaic - phrases, habits. This can show up as public speeches or presentations.

These aren't inherently bad or a problem, but if the framework becomes more substantial than what's put into it, that's a problem.

Hilariously, that's where Generative AI shines the most, tho. It has seen it before, it has tons of examples of the framework and just enough information to make it seem like it has substance. And the framework supports it - we see the landmarks, we hear the key phrases, see the keywords, observe the key gestures. But it's not real.

This is satire

If you, like me and so many others, haven't caught on yet, let me be clear here: This is satire.

This is not meant to infringe anyone's feelings, copyright or whatever else you might see in this page.

Have a laugh, touch some grass.
