Taylor's Law

Banks and corporates have a nasty habit of using buzzwords to promote their product in a way start-ups never do. As such Simon Taylor (host of the Fintech Insider podcast) noted, there is an inversely proportional relationship between how many Buzzwords (AI, Machine Learning and Blockchain) a bank uses, and how good their product is.

Taylor's law: The amount of times you mention AI, ML or Blockchain in your product is inversley proportional to how good it is
Damn that press release from BIG BANK sure proves Taylor's Law. Did you see the amount of times they said AI?
