People who work at Microsoft.

Source: Me, I used to, was driven moderately insane by their highly advanced and pervasive outbreak of corpospeak.

They are impressed by LLMs because they reproduce their inane dialect.

A company that forces you to write a "Connect" every half-year where you reflect on your performance and Impact™ : (click here for the definition of Impact™ in Microsoft® Sharepoint™)

Business grads who think it makes them sound smart. I have to deal with way too many of them. It's infuriating, because behind it all I know just how dull most of them truly are.

By creating a language only they are able to speak and interpret, the managerial class is protecting its existence and self reproduction, while keeping people of other classes out or only let them in after passing through a proper reeducation camp, e.g. MBA program.

Gotta come to Latin's defense here -- you can write proper literature, science, poetry in Latin, and people did so for thousands of years. This stuff? Nah. (I am not literate in Latin.)

I have no doubt that a chatbot would be just as effective at doing Liuson's job, if not moreso. Not because chatbots are good, but because Liuson is so bad at her job.

Some C-Suite executives that think they're important/interesting enough to hold a Ted Talk. Usually it's just buzzword babble, but it occasionally escalates.

Wouldn't let him near any books. Dude always destroys the spine.

Hr. Somehow this is considered acceptable speach in those formal circles.
