I worked with one guy that would actually say "yes, you're right, I was wrong about xyz, it should actually be abc"

I think this is what I hate most about rampant LLMs unleashed on the general populace. That kinda phrasing used to just be "effective communication when owning a mistake." But now, like the emdash — (lol), it's abused into a cliche as telltale clanker-speak.

It erodes trust that, whether right or wrong, you're speaking to an authentic human being.

My biggest peeve is their constant use of "That's not (anything here), that's positive thing." Lol
