The Agentic Software Service Hyper Optimized Learning Engine custom built for drowning the World Wide Web in soundbite and buzzword marketing bullsh!t centered on AI, or the A.S.S.H.O.L.E. for short! (With fervent thanks to the esteemed Arthur Mesher for delving deep into the depths to uncover the source of this madness!)

Technology Project Failure is at an all-time high, boosted by the recent AI failure rates (which are on the rise as almost half of AI initiatives are being scrapped in process, see CIO Dive), and while the hype should be subsiding (and shifting to the next hype cycle), it’s now hitting us harder and faster in what should be its death throes than any hype cycle that has come before.

The AI marketing onslaught is coming so hard and fast that it’s impossible to imagine how so much new soundbite, buzzword, FOMO, and FUD content can be produced so fast and so overwhelming to the point that it seems humanly impossible. And that’s because it is. It’s not coming from humans, it’s coming from the A.S.S.H.O.L.E.. As we have indicated in our previous posts on Gen-AI LLMs, one of the valid uses for Gen-AI is mass content digestion, search, summarization, and generation.

It appears that one of these systems was customized to ingest all of the initial human-generated AI BS and trained to spew out marketing soundbites, social media posts, articles, and other forms of web content ad nauseum and to continually ingest new content on the subject to create even more content, including AI-generated BS content from other AI systems that tried to copy the original A.S.S.H.O.L.E..

And even though it doesn’t matter, since apparently every LLM can be trained to emulate the original, the only question that remains is, who currently owns the source engine, what LLM was it originally built on, and what LLM is it running on now? This is obviously the industry’s best kept secret. I hope someone who has gotten to the bottom of this will let us know the full story of the A.S.S.H.O.L.E.. Considering the intellectual and financial pain and suffering it has caused, we deserve to know the truth!

For those interested, since I’m sure LinkedIn will disappear Art’s post if it hasn’t already, here’s the original. (And the Gartner rant ain’t half bad either!)
