why would I want to be on fake meetings when I'm already in so many real meetings

This is super creative!

All Hands:

Worker: "I'd like to ask about pay review. The numbers look really strong, and some people are probably wondering if that's going to show up in review."

Exec: "That's a great question. I don't want to say anything I can't promise, but we're going to be looking at all our options and I'm sure we're going to look to reward great performance. Does that help answer your question?"

Sketch comedy writers, look out. This thing is sadly, hilariously, accurate.

Where is the one with the senior staff who dont know how to mute (nobody wants to lose their job by mentioning it), has what sounds like a blender next to the microphone and occasionally yells at their dog to get off the couch?

Sorry, I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy, K-kinda busy..

For those who don't need the audio and just need to look like busy on teams, there is still the possibility to start a meeting with yourself from the calender.

This is what I do if I kneed quite tunnel-time.

Every time I participated in corporate business calls I wondered "where these people take all these sentences and words from?". Now I know, they were computers.

Nice, it's got real Interdimensional Cable vibes.

coming from someone who is the farthest from an ai hater, these zero effort cookie cutter one shot claude sites are just bleh. Why would I bother using the site if you put in 0 effort

The ‘mixed’ accent option appears to be just British after all

pirateirl • today at 3:39 PM

Usefull!

dizhn • today at 12:54 PM

I'm gonna ironically make a Claude theme and use that if I ever hand write a site again. :)

what a fucking stupid meetings with stupid accents and stupid people talking stupid corporate shit making it sound like they are engineering a rocket. ffs, you are the plumbers writing the cruds.

smart meetings have `pauses`, `thoughts` and `i don't knows`. this is so fucking stupid that i find it lame enough not to use it.

needs more "hmms" and "uhms" to sound believable... this is all fairly flat and evenly cadenced

sebastianconcpt • today at 2:38 PM

This is the new BS generator, but more useful

tamimio • today at 2:22 PM

This is hilarious, but I think people should be addressing the real issue instead of this, maybe that work environment isn’t for you and it’s time to look somewhere if you need to pretend. Just say you’re busy or fill your calendar with whatever you are working on without a meeting, in fact, a lot of meetings is a sign of a wasted time so if I see someone (especially technical) is doing a lot of meeting I know they are wasting time or slacking.

bro, that's cool. My friends disturb me a lot while working. This would definitely help

kirugan • today at 11:34 AM
