Product naming Memes

Microsoft's naming strategy in 2024: take your existing products, slap "Copilot" or "AI" on everything, and pretend you invented something revolutionary. Word becomes "Wordslop," Excel turns into "Exslop," and my personal favorite—Teams is now just "Recycle Bin" because let's be honest, that's where all productivity goes to die anyway. The real genius move here is "Power Slop Intelligence"—because why have Power BI when you can have a product name that sounds like what comes out after a bad algorithm eats too much training data? SharePoint becoming "Slop Point" is just truth in advertising at this point. Nothing says "we're out of ideas" quite like adding AI to products that have worked fine for decades and charging enterprise customers an extra $30/month per seat for features that hallucinate your quarterly reports. But hey, at least the VCs are happy.
