There needs to be a name for the disappointment of someone showing you something at work that's clearly AI generated.#
Especially when it has been done last minute and not even humanised a bit.#
They're trying to run you through it. But they know about as much of the contents as you do.#
And it's always so long. And lacking basic, but important context/knowledge that a human would know.#

I feel like people do their best not to sneeze (or hide it) in an office to avoid the awkwardness of the "bless you's".#
Because it can be weirdly awkward (at least in my opinion).#
No one's sure if they should be the one to say "bless you", so sometimes no one does.#
Sometimes multiple people say it.#
Sometimes everyone pretends to ignore it.#
Sometimes people seem slightly disgusted (especially in certain sunlit lighting when you can see a salivary spray of mist).#
Then when the person sneezes more than once there's a whole new world.#
If it was just five seconds prior, are they still protected by the first "bless you".#
If it's two basically back-to-back, does one "bless you" cover it.#
A god forbid you sneeze more than three times.#
People start spinning in their chairs to look.#
People start making jokes.#
Luckily I'm yet to really encounter a loud sneezer. Everyone seems to try and muffle it as best they can.#

There must be 250+ desks at my companies office. Each with two monitors attached to a very versitle arm where you can put the monitors into portait mode. But not a single person has a monitor in portrait mode.#
Maybe they just don't realise it's possible (though after I did it and my boss noticed he let employees know via his technology newsletter that it's possible). But still no one has done it.#
To be fair, I've put mine back in landscape mode. A regular 21" monitor turned sideways isn't wide enough for certain content.#
