Some of the most annoying moments in my career were occasional coworkers who talked a lot without making a point. They just invoked topics loosely related to the problem at hand, like stories from previous jobs or what they've read on the internet about this problem, until the manager said something like "are you trying to say that..." and then formulated what they thought the point was, except that the speaker clearly never intended to say anything like that. All the other engineers in the room are giving each other side eye but the manager thinks they've just got "a valuable input".

The tactic is simply to talk relevantly until the listener fools themselves into thinking they understand you, except that "understanding" will be an illusion and 100% manager's own analytical effort. And it's honestly embarrassing how often and well that works. Quite a few of those guys were promoted first, too.

I'm pretty sure our upcoming future with AI will be like that quote from forest ranger at Yosemite National Park, on why it is hard to design the perfect garbage bin to keep bears from breaking into it: "There is a considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."

The whole idea of a criteria to separate humans from AI is a misconception. I think any human who confuses smooth talking with making sense will be ruthlessly exploited in relatively near future. There are humans who already do this successfully to other humans, what do you think will happen when they get to automate their efforts.
