> This announcement is more than just a headline—it's validation of our pioneering work with General AI Agents.

Anyone else thought this was satire when they read that as the second line in the announcement?

I literally laughed, then clicked the top left logo, to check out the homepage and see if this `ManuAI` was a real website.

You would think that they would know better to at least edit that out.

It's not just ironic -- it's cosmically poetic.

Perhaps "our PR team is a prompt" is what they mean to convey? Or "let's make this obviously AI so more people comment pointing that out" is their social media strategy?

I don't get it.

They are saying the announcement means more to them than just a headline that most will scroll past. Maybe you are seeing something I'm not.

Op is saying it sounds like it was written like an LLM

Some context:

If you've been following Manus and their work on context engineering, or have used the product, that line doesn't come off as satire IMO.

To anyone who isn't deep in the AI hype space it reads like satire to include such an obvious AI tell but I think it's a positive in the eyes of the AI hype world. It's like how anyone not a lizard is repulsed by LinkedIn speak and yet it dominates the platform.

I saw this in a past hype cycle. What happens is that it becomes a "performative" art in an echo-chamber for startups, startup founders, VCs. Performative meaning doing things one thinks others want to see rather than when it makes sense.

Management is quizzing their tech teams on injecting agents into their workflows whatever the f that means. Some of these big companies will acquire startups in the space so they are not left behind on the hype-train. So, they can claim to have agentic talent on their teams.

Those of us who have seen this movie play out know the ending.
