In my country we were calling this "wooden language" back when were under a communist dictatorship behind the iron curtain.

Also known as manager speak or corporate lingo

That's why AI is so useful in a corporate setting. Internally, those are communist dictatorships, complete with faking results to look good and wealth accumulating in the hands of those who are more equal than the rest.

Mmm dictatorships. Not necessarily communist.

Pretty sure the fascists were the same, I just have no direct experience with them.

Corporate "monthly celebrations" fall in the same category :)

are those the ones that are optional but with the implicit understanding that you will be dinged if you exercise that option?

China did not invent the social credit :)

ironically they are literally capitalist dictatorships, since the idea that owning a company should give you dictatorial control of everyone's work is held up as an ideal by capitalists
