Author here — really happy that a joke project I did 7.5 years ago (while working at a typical outsourcing company) finally got a spotlight on HN!

Please feel free to contribute! I cleaned up and modernized the repo a little recently, but didn't revise the terms list properly in a very long time (except a few obvious additions like "autonomous" and "AI"), so it's a little outdated. There's so much new bullshit to add!

There seems to be some kind of error: I ran this on my forthcoming study of cow manure and it translated the whole thing into business speak.

So I take it you've turned it into a VR cryptocurrency startup and are closing a $140 million series B round by now?

I guess only if the VR is AI based

Revealing the bullshit is really fun. Can you add a feature where it somehow tells you which word it replaced?

On desktop, if you hover over the "bullshit", it shows you what word was replaced. May not work on mobile, I guess.

It would actually be a great feature to also convert the word "bullshit" into a random keyword from the dictionary. This way you can run it twice and then generate brand new summary of the service.
