I definitely am negatively biased toward anything I perceive using buzz words or jargon. I doubt I'm the only person with this knee jerk reaction (I say without any statistics or evidence I can link in).
Same with any product that is over or deceptively advertised.
If their stuff was good, provably so, then they'd prove it on their own merits. They wouldn't need to fill a website with 99% AI slop if they had anything else of any substance.
Or, it's definitely possible I'm in the % of people who is overly sensitive to bullshit, and I fall outside the target audience of their AI slop. Similarly to how spam emails include typos to filter out people who are actually paying attention.
- jrowen 1y agoThis is an extreme overreaction to usage of a regular word that literally describes what they are doing. "Compress" would have been less accurate. Say what you will about the website but the video is a pretty reasonable sales demo.

Even house staff at a restaurant will talk about 2-tops and 4-tops, etc. It's just jargon, or better yet, convenient abstraction to describe the problem space these people live and breath.

- 542354234235 1y agoThe more layman’s wording you use, the less accurate you will be. The reason for industry specific “jargon” is just that those are words that happen to be the most accurate and descriptive words for whatever materials or processes used. If you use too much jargon, people outside can’t understand what you are talking about. If you use too little jargon, then whatever you are talking about will be too vague.
