    For one of those companies, that was probably true. They had been increasingly profitable for all ~15 years they had been open, most of the white-collar employees were vocally pro-Trump, and then there was chitchat over how tariffs are making it difficult to produce our goods (we had used aluminum and a lot of other imported materials), and I doubt half of them ever put two and two together.

    “You’re certainly qualified for this job and we’d love to have you. Welcome aboard!”

    Some time later:

    “Sorry, we can’t afford to pay our employees to continue doing their jobs so we’re going to have to let you go”

    This has happened twice to me within the past year.

    It seems like that feature is just a sort of mad-libs style of generating strings of text and it mostly appeals to the random=funny crowd. Seems like it can occasionally come up with something coherent or clever but I’m not going to throw the money at it to determine a success rate. It reminds me of Cyanide & Happiness’s random comic generator. Relatively harmless compared to other AI stuff so long as people keep the slop to themselves. I don’t like how they use “AI” as a buzzword for marketing that technology.
