Tech Pays $775K for Humans to Explain Why AI’s Gibberish Sucks
KEY POINTS
- •Netflix posted a director of product and technology communications role paying up to $775,000 to manage AI storytelling in 2025.
- •Anthropic expanded its communications team to 80 people in 2025, offering salaries of $200,000+, while Adobe and OpenAI also hunt for storytelling experts.
- •Sam Altman noted some people now speak in an 'AI accent,' and Microsoft debuted a print magazine called Signal to combat digital noise.
In a Silicon Valley plot twist juicier than a reboot saga, Netflix is dangling up to $775,000 to lure someone who can explain their tech in human language, ironically paying more than seven times the $106K average director of communications. Meanwhile, Adobe’s on the hunt for an 'AI evangelist' to preach 'artificial intelligence storytelling,' and Anthropic tripled its communications squad to 80 in 2025, doling out $200,000+ salaries like candy. Even OpenAI is flirting with $400,000+ comms roles while their own CEO, Sam Altman, admits some people now speak with a weird 'AI accent.' Talk about hiring to fix what AI broke! Also, in a hipster twist, Microsoft’s started a print mag called Signal — because apparently, we need paper to fight digital nonsense. So after flooding the internet with sloppy AI babble, Big Tech is desperate for humans who can cut through the noise with actual words. The future apparently belongs to storytellers, not coders, reversing a trend where 'everyone's a writer, so no one actually is,' per Cristin Culver, the queen of communications clarity. In short: AI’s messy chatter broke the internet, and corporate America’s response is to hire armies of people to ‘translate human-sounding BS,’ proving once again that you can’t automate authenticity, but you sure can overpay the human translators of this nonsense.

Nothing screams peak tech like Netflix paying $775K for humans to translate AI nonsense, while real coders collect dust and CEOs develop robot accents.
Apparently, the only job safe from AI is explaining why AI’s writing sounds like a stoned Dr. Seuss.
Netflix’s $775K comms gig: because when your AI writes gobbledygook, you need a human hired mouthpiece to pretend it makes sense.
