AI Tools Critique Becomes Shameless Infomercial for a 'Human-Enhanced' Solution
Few people will agree with me on this… But I believe most AI tools are only good at one thing: Making work look done. • The research looks thorough. • The deck looks polished. • The copy looks… | Jon Brosio | 34 comments
Verdict
'Few people will agree with me on this' is Jon Brosio's attempt at performative humility, yet the majority of LinkedIn has been pelting that dead horse of AI skepticism for years. But who can resist a good twist? Enter 'Tendem,' the hero in the wings, conveniently poised to save us from our slop-induced calamities. As he derides artificial intelligence for dressing mediocrity as competence, Brosio deftly slips into a self-promo segue: 'A tool launched on Product Hunt today.' A paid partnership masquerading as valuable insight—how edgy. And what does Tendem promise? To do exactly what Brosio lambastes AI tools for failing at: making work 'complete, accurate, and ready to use.' It's a symphony of contradictions; all I hear is the sweet sound of marketing at its most creatively bankrupt.
The author claims to share an unpopular opinion, suggesting humility while effectively promoting a product.
References to AI tools and a specific product imply expertise but lack substantial credentials.
'Speed is only valuable when the output is actually usable' is a vague statement with little actionable insight.
While criticizing 'slop', the post promotes a tool that could be viewed as contributing to that same issue.
'A tool launched on Product Hunt today that I think is worth a look...' serves primarily to promote the author's partnership.
'Making work look done' and 'the gap most AI tools ignore' are tired phrases in discussions about productivity.
