Maybe they should have replaced the executives with AI and not the writers.
The first company that does this and is successful will break a lot of brains and I will be laughing the whole time
The future will have an entire company, all employees are AI, all executives are AI, and the big shareholders are all AI, just money constantly being exchanged between computers.
parroting shit out of the latest hot business book and having lots of content-free meetings sounds like the perfect use case for a large language model actually
I... welcome?... our corporate AI overlords?
content-free meetings
AI: "Where is Mike?"
Human 1: "He's here. I mean sort of here—"
AI: "Sort of here?"
Human 1: "On Zoom."
AI: "Sort of here?"
Human 1: "It's... Gah... Can somebody else talk to it? It exhausts me."
AI: "Sort of here?"
Human 2: "His Zoom connection is wonky."
AI: "Wonky how exactly?"
Human 3: "How do we know?"
AI: "Where is Mike?"
Human 3: "For the love of god."
may that happen to the advertisement industry as a whole
:inshallah-script:
literally all they have left is the AI stuff they said they were going to do lol. if buzzfeed goes down it will be the first company that pivoted to AI generated content that fails I think.
Last Buzzfeed listicle...

You don't want me using digital enhanced interrogation so it hurts more. You really don't."
Okay but how will I know which Smurf my ex girlfriend is now? (Hint: it's not who you think.)
7 Reasons BuzzFeed News is Shutting Down (You Won't Believe #3!)
Not many people know this, but Smurphs can change their gender if the ratio within their colonies has tipped one way or the other. Papa Smurph gave birth to most of the individuals in the cartoons.
I thought Gargamel created Smurfette in a weird science experiment.
And she was evil, and was going to bring down the whole village. I always had a soft spot for Azrael and always wished he got to eat more smurfs.
There was a Robot Chicken episode where the smurfs village is wiped out by a flood and Gargamel scoops up their bodies with a net, but after cooking them finds out they taste disgusting.
does anyone remember the weird reddit turn when the redditors suddenly started saying shit like "yeah buzzfeed main site is clickbait trash but their news site is actually legit"
that had to just be astroturfing right?
Their first Pulitzer was for reporting Xinjiang atrocity propaganda so :shrug-outta-hecks:
I don't think I'll ever get over the Zenz shit to be honest. That was one of those circumstances where I was able to, on my own, track down the documents Zenz was referencing, do the math myself, and prove he was intentionally lying.
I specifically remember getting into like 3 or 4 separate long arguments on Reddit before I was banned where I would painstakingly go through the math using Zenz's own report to prove to random libs that it's falsified/manipulated birth control statistics and their brains would short circuit and they would get absolutely fucking furious or they would pretend not to understand the math and call me braindead and shit for not understanding simple math
They generated lots of money with that clickbait trash.
The clicbait is profitable, but it lead to bad reputation. They tried to fix the reputation problem with money by hiring top quality investigative journalist to their news site.
It is good though. They just had the unfortunate affiliation with the worst site.
I mean, they’re pretty good lol. They were the ones who broke the story about gulf states hiring American mercenaries to assassinate political opponents, the courts not prosecuting child molesters and pedophiles in the CIA because of “state secrets”, and a few Epstein stories.
