“Oh, Look! Another Meaningless Tech Event”

Sure, why not throw another tech event into the mix? VentureBeat’s annual flagship event, Transform, has decided to shift its unoriginal agenda from whatever the heck it focused on last year – who even remembers, right? – to the hot new thing everyone can’t shut up about: the “generative AI revolution”. Yeah, right, like these self-important techies can revolutionize anything beyond their overpriced lattes. Oh, and they’re also keen on patting each other on the back with those “AI Innovation Awards”.

“An Absolute Revolution, Really?”

Not that it would matter to the latte-guzzling, black turtleneck-wearing folks at Transform, but, if implemented properly (which it likely won’t be), this ‘generative AI revolution’ could theoretically change how businesses operate, human interaction, education, entertainment, and everything else under the sun, moon, and stars. But don’t hold your breath. Given the previous track record of these corporate suits delivering sustainable technology trends, it’s far more likely that they’ll once again miss the mark, confuse everyone and ultimately get their jollies from receiving awards for innovations that most people couldn’t care less about.

“Let the eye-roll commence”

So, VentureBeat is all set to revolutionize…something with Transform. Oh, and they’re going to bestow some awards – shocking. News flash: No one outside your overpriced San Francisco tech bubble is that impressed. Seriously, if they dedicated half the time they spend on organizing these worthless events and creating tacky awards on actually improving the effing technology, we might have had a real AI revolution by now. So, keep on patting yourselves on the back, tech geniuses. Meanwhile, the rest of us will just be over here, using meaningful technology that actually works. Here’s a thought – maybe try making that instead. You can thank me later.
