perhaps too there is an argument for just a little bit: make up, spell check; but no need to run these things out to their unholy natural conclusion, no need to optimize toward an uncanny dullness
lookmaxxing & GAI business speak are similar:

(3) they are byproducts of capitalist technology, born of insecurity
