It's bad enough the cringe-word "cyber" being tossed around willy nilly. Now it's robots doing the tossing, in Claude-slop sentences.

(Having lived through the late 90s .com stuff, I can't see the word "cyber" without immediately assuming the person who wrote it is a clueless baby boomer. Unfortunately it seems to have become accepted into the lexicon. I guess by us now-clueless GenXers?)

The government uses the word 'cyber' all over their security documents, and have since the mid-90s. It is indeed very cringe.

I expect the gen xers are using the word in a cynical sense.
