Need to make a primal scream without gathering footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh facts of Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.

I rewrote the ad so they can lean into their marketing strategy.
I want to make a zoolander riff but my brain just isnāt cooperating, so instead pretend I did (just like these people pretend their product is worth something)
Hahah lol, that was pretty good.
I immortalized it for you into a meme here
ah yes, the Simple English wiki filter but wrong

thanks magibook!
canāt wait for this shit to show up in usage among people who have english as an additional language at different level of fluency to their primaries. totally donāt see it causing a cascade clusterfuck in communication and comprehension.
thereās already a strain of this out there, with a lot of english-non-first students using LLMs to āmake their work sound more polishedā. similar as the strain using it for CVs etc
ran across a great thread on fedi a while back, will see if I can find it
Itās good that theyāre offsetting their advantages in the marketplace of money by actively crippling themselves in the marketplace of ideas.
I canāt even
