    Haven’t been to a wedding recently but I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the speeches are LLM slop now, too.

    Last wedding I went to, the best man speech was basically “we’re drunks! Isn’t that awesome and hilarious?!” [Paraphrasing]. It was sooo painful.

    When I was the best man, I worked on my speech for like a month, kept it to like three minutes, had nothing to drink beforehand, and shortened it on the fly to match the maid of honor’s.

    It’s astounding to me that people almost always do something other than maximum effort for people that care for and trust them enough to make them a best man or maid of honor.

    I like that though, the awkwardness feels real and intimate. If someone delivered a flawless speech I would just think that they deliver other speeches in the same manner for their soulless work presentations
