How AI ate corporate jargon

There was a time when the corporate world had its own unique — but entirely meaningless — language. We were moving the needle, boiling the ocean, constantly taking things offline, circling back, doing blue-sky thinking, and peeling the onion.

Corporate jargon was irritating, but at least I (these days people refer to me as a “veteran” journalist — a reference to my age, of course) knew what it meant. Or pretended to. But that seems a distant memory in the AI age.
