@VergilOrtiz I do think Vergil is getting avoided, but a critical part of the email covered: The sent date. How many weeks would Xander have had to get ready?

Today my boss asked me if we're "ready for AI this year".

I said absolutely. I told him we've been running "machine learning models" on our data infrastructure for the past 18 months and we're seeing "significant optimization gains."

He asked for specifics. I said, "Our email filtering system uses neural networks to detect phishing attempts with 97% accuracy."

He looked impressed.

Here's the truth: that's just the default spam filter in Office 365. Microsoft built it. We didn't do anything.

But I rebranded it as "AI-powered threat detection" in a slide deck last year, and now everyone thinks we're innovators.

My boss wants to announce our "AI initiatives" in the next shareholder meeting. I told him I'd prepare a presentation.

I'm going to take every automated process we already have—backup scripts, user provisioning, patch management—and add the words "AI-enhanced" in front of them.
Innovation isn't about building new things.

It's about renaming old things with better buzzwords.

@GopiBain @MaxCalendrillo I am not defending the statement of Maidana beating Mayweather, but quoting CompuBox stats is ridiculous. People who are familiar with Boxing understand how unreliable is CompuBox, which is just two people clicking buttons who may or may have not seen a punch land
