Buzzword Factories

We all know buzzwords when we hear them.

Each profession and each level has its favorite buzzwords that make you roll your eyes. Each time you hear one, you lose a little respect for the person who used it.

LLMs are buzzword factories. They spew buzzwords and build word salads like it’s their job.

So tell them to stop.

I always tell my agents the following:

“Use plain and direct words. Never use jargon or buzzwords. You can assume the audience is professional and you can and should use technical terminology when appropriate.”

If you create written or presentation material, don’t use buzzwords. If you’re using AI to help you create that material, don’t let it use buzzwords.

Friends don’t let friends build buzzword word salads.

You’re the boss. Be the boss.
