Reading through the specials email from Grocery Outlet, products that have been remaindered, and thinking about how much product differentiation is ad copy for the same generic product. This barbecue sauce happens to be "Rich & Sassy", that one's "Legendary".

And thinking about how Large Language Models are just automating the exploration of this space of differentiating commodity product with more garbage superlatives.
