I thought this must be a joke at first. "Glaze" is in pretty heavy use as recent slang for "when someone excessively praises another person in a way that feels over-the-top." https://creativesimiles.com/glaze-meaning-slang/

ie the annoying way that LLMs interact with users

It's so much worse. Your link fails to mention that the "Glaze" in question is a cough bodily fluid. Yes that one. Have I seen politicians use "glaze" recently? Yes. Gross.

On the other hand it is kind of the perfect name for Yet Another AI Website Maker (YAAWM?).

"Heavy use" to the point where it might even be more common than the older senses of "cover with icing" or "install windows".

Related, "glass" or "glassing" can also refer to stabbing someone in the face with broken glass or decimating a world in nuclear holocaust.

Maybe a quietly dissenting PM snuck it by. If so, nice.
