Nice. I want my TV news subtitled with a slightly less flippant version of this. Bonus credit for also catching media training techniques and bad journalism. Actually, I would probably subscribe for a channel that aggregates other reporting on significant topics and takes it apart for bullshitlessness in the execution.

From Idiocracy:

Female Reporter: It started off boring and slow with Not Sure trying to bullshit everyone with a bunch of smart talk: 'Blah blah blah. You gotta believe me!' That part of the trial sucked! But then the Chief J. just went off. He said, 'Man, whatever! The guy's guilty as shit! We all know that.' And he sentenced his a* to one night of rehabilitation.

This reads exactly like a reward message in "Dungeon Crawler Carl"!

Would't that work by just asking chatgpt or similar to summarize and remove the buzzwords? (I rarely use these tools so I do not know if they are efficient in such tasks)

I will never cease to be amazed how LLMs can just speak base64. I base64 encoded the following text: "In order to keep up with the fast-evolving landscape of today's economy, restructuring our company is necessary. We will use this as an opportunity to become more lean and cost-efficient, while still producing the same quality as before." I pasted the output into the bullshit remover and it responded with the followi…

Didn’t you effectively (just) Cæsar encode the input?

Not really because it’s not a one-to-one mapping with ASCII. 3 characters in the input becomes 4 in the output.
