The “Boring Apocalypse” of AI …
… is when people in corporate and political life use large language models to generate a geyser of memos and emails and documents …
… which so drown their recipients that they themselves use AI to autosummarize them
Machines talking to machines, with humans as bystanders
It’s a coinage of Jonathan Frankle,and I like it!
