Audiences attending the SXSW premiere of “The Fall Guy,” starring Ryan Gosling, were not happy about having to watch a sizzle reel before the movie that touted the promises of AI.
AI is a tool that makes us X% more productive (X is still debatable and bound to change)
But instead of making our job X% easier or let us earn X% more, work X% less, corporations are hellbent to fire X% of the workforce because that makes the most money.
The fuck is a “sizzle reel”. I mean, I get what it probably is from context, but who comes up with this shit
I am generally confused as to how you’ve never heard the term before and are just assuming it’s a new phrase.
Da fug is a sizzle reel. Sounds like a term 1st graders came up with…
A short video normally no longer than 3 minutes designed to show off a product, usually in the form of a montage.
It’s an old term so I can’t imagine how you could live your life and not hear the term.
There’s no need to be a dick about it, just because you know a something doesn’t mean everyone else must also know it. I can guarantee there’s common terms you aren’t familiar with. Especially when you consider that this is marketing jargon with common alternate terms (eg demo reel).
If people are going to be dicks about not knowing the term I’m going to be a dick about knowing the term.
When and in which context would I have heard this?
When
Any time a product is being shown off.
Context
Fucking anything. Apple showing off its new iPhone features, a studio showing clips from its upcoming shows, and an actor showcasing their previous work.
