My you are absolutely correct was a meta joke because that’s how Claude responds all the time. So I was talking like the AI. But that was just a joke.
However I do see people joking around like that often. “You are absolutely correct”. “You were right to push back I made that up”. “now I have the whole picture” etc.
now if history has taught me anything it’s that this kind of ironic joking language often makes its way into dialect properly. Like how people were cringing at “brah” a decade ago and rolling their eyes saying it and those same people are just saying it now.
So in a decade get ready for some non ironic AI slang to make its way into your daily life.
i more meant people asking for things in corporate environments like they are asking an ai agent to do things even when it’s talking to people. I’ve noticed a trend of people posing requests in email and in meetings like you would form a prompt. Idk it was really obvious the video layoff video was a pre wrote chat gpt savior when I was let go and the off boarding stuff feels very ai generated. I’m getting jaded maybe
That’s fair. I’ve seen that because AI is writing so many documents, standards on what is expected out of writing have slipped considerably.
If anyone was really curious there are countless articles explaining “document culture” and “writing culture” at Amazon. Basically everything in the 17 years I’ve been here has revolved around written works. We don’t do PowerPoints. You sit in a meeting, are handed a 1-6 page document, and expected to silently read it, then follow up with questions after. Everything is narrative writing. You had to take a multi day class on how to properly write documents when hired. The voice, the way you phrase things, stuff to avoid, language to use and not use.
With AI writing so much, document expectations are not as high always. I can 100% see this eventually coming to a point where there is no longer a specific corporate narrative style and where the average worker can’t write that style anymore. Accepting a more AI oriented phrasing voice.
It’s also ironic because this whole thing was kind of a way for people to prove what they knew. You can BS a PowerPoint presentation but can you BS a 6 page narrative explaining in painful detail your presentation? Well now you probably can.
