Summary
The author expresses strong frustration with AI-generated marketing copy, using the example of caterers who describe their services in vague, buzzword-laden language ("creating meaningful experiences," "culinary journey"). The article argues that AI-written content lacks authenticity, soul, and genuine human voice. The provocative title is a hyperbolic statement about the value of authentic human writing over AI-generated text.
