Pseudo Profound AI Bullshit

Yesterday I read Pennycook etc al.'s paper on pseudo-profound bullshit, and realized that's what annoys me the most about the current AI culture.

So then I made this little web app to randomly generate the sort of meaningless nonsense said by AI startup freaks. Your next pitch deck awaits.

Nice! Here's a GitHub link for my fellow sauce enjoyers.

Where did you get the generator & the word supply? Original? Getting the conjugations right must have taken a lot of fiddling.

Seems easy and fun to modify too. Maybe consider slapping on an OSI license?

Oh good shout with the source and licence.

I wrote it from scratch, and filled in the vocabulary banks myself. I'm in my 3rd year of a machine learning PhD so I'm very familiar with the language used by AI bullshit salesmen.

I am not a language guy. So yeah, working out the conjugations was mostly trial and error. There's still occasional grammatical problems in the output but its "good enough" for a low effort shitpost.

Please feel free to do whatever you want with the code.

Maybe I'll add, my first though was this must be some kind of LLM. Some kind of compressed model or something. But that it's just a 20 line string combiner with a handful of templates is somehow even cooler.

Seems topical to Pennycook et al. You don't need a lot of complexity to make it seem like a lot of complexity.

Nice! I could almost swear I heard some of these in real life.

"The future of machine intelligence lies in web-scale block chains that tokenize deep cognition." Nice
