There is a new term "load-bearing" which is used a lot in my usage of AI. Has anyone else encountered this term being used a lot in their conversations? Or is it a quirk of personalization?

There are also fashions. So people could be using "load-bearing" more because it's fashionable. Like "lets double-click on that", or "spinning rust", etc

I use load-bearing all the time in conversation. People need to be careful that just because they don’t use certain phrases, it doesn’t automatically mean AI.

I've heard it a lot from podcasts that are towards the abundance movement. I think its common within the rationalise movement.

Personally I really like it for "load-bearing assumptions". Because it let's you work with assumptions whilst pointing out the potential issues of that assumption.

been getting a lot of "load-bearing" and "roll your own" lately.

us humans, even if kinda trash at many things, are pretty rad at pattern recognition.
