a Slack, Gmail, GitHub, or Intercom add-on that flags AI-written walls of text and rewrites them into the actual ask, missing evidence, and named owner before a coworker or customer has to read them, backed by 319 comments on AI-generated conversation sludge and 47 more from people explicitly tired of AI answers. → See full breakdown in the Action section below.

What today means for you — depends on who you are.
3 ROLES · read by role

This year your sales page answers not "how smart" — but "can the system prove what happened".

Buyers have lost patience with default promises. If your hero still leads with "AI-powered", competitors are already writing "we can show you receipts".

This week is for selling "narrow receipts" — ID safety, contest integrity, generated-content policy, CSS migration, agent permissions.

Build small gates that force clarity: ask, evidence, owner, cost, permission, or rollback path.

Today's interesting story isn't whether AI is impressive — it's whether everyday software can still prove what happened.

Watch for a backlash against AI content that looks helpful but refuses to make a concrete commitment.
