BTW you can modify the code of your generator by taking a string from the user as an input and then use it partially as seed for the RNG. That would make it legit AI following the modern definition ;-)

Thank you for that treat.

mine included the phrase "future-proof low hanging fruit", which feels like an oxymoron
Admin
if the bullshit then fails to land you a promotion, we can blame it on something along the lines of ""not knowing how to prompt""

A previous boss of mine liked to say "bullshit baffles brains"

I volunteer to pressure test my bank account. Fill it up as high as it will go.

Hej, the generator is broken, when I click on ”generate” I see just sentences from my company mission document…

I first ran across that as "baloney" instead of "bullshit", although it might be just a lightly-bowdlerised version, but in any event, one I found in the 1959 novel "Next of Kin" by Eric Frank Russell.

The thing is, if ot exceeds the pressure limits, it releases everything, leaving you with nothing, so you need to figure when the best time to stop is. Could make for a nice gameshow challenge, assuming the likes of The Price is Right hasn't already used that idea.

In general, nobody want to believe that the people and institutions they have put their trust in have been lying to and manipulating them. They don't want to admit they have been duped. Everyone is going to take this to mean that people on the other side (not themselves) are the ones being duped, but I have bad news for you, if you don't question the motivations of the messaging coming out of YOUR side, you're being duped. You can't sort out any kind of truth if you don't meet everything you see and hear with at least some skepticism.
