A user built a "Field Guide to SF Vernacular" website for a friend moving to San Francisco, cataloging 64 entries with origins traced and peer review. It includes several tech and AI-related definitions:
- AI psychosis: The delusional spiral some fall into via extended chatbot conversations, where the model mirrors and escalates beliefs until outlandish ideas feel confirmed.
- Anti-slop: The brag of using AI for everything while insisting the output is not slop.
- ABG CMO: The SF startup archetype of hiring a young, online Asian woman to run viral short-form marketing.
