Marketing folks talked like that, for almost my entire career (it was basically a meme), which wound up, as AI was coming into its own.
- mettamage 12d agoYou’re absolu —— okay I will see myself out now. I recently found a programming task it really sucks at: trying to make a texture from normal house pictures and apply that to a 3D house model.
- TheOtherHobbes 12d agoThe default style is literally marketing droid - a mix of blather, grammatical filler, folksy corporate pretension, and SV dev speak. ('And here's why that matters.' Things 'landing' through 'gates', abstractions having a 'shape', and so on.) You can wrangle it into something more interesting with shaping and filtering passes, and you can also ask for styles of dead people. (It gets annoyed if you ask for the living.) That can take you surprisingly far. But most people accept the first thing they get, which is why you see the same style everywhere.
