Has the AI bot has been set/prompted/programmed to format each poll question as a statement, as each poll sounds the same?

And "adapt" seems to mean that the people are ready to tackle whatever the AI-ridden market throws at them. Thanks but no thank you. Oh, and if the poll originator meant something else when writing "adapt," I'm really sorry for misinterpreting their message

I don't know about you guys, but I'm having the worst September of the last 10 years. Clients freezing their budgets, sending only soul-crushing, small jobs. Seriously worried about next year's landscape, so... the term 'adapt' here seems more like 'MTPE or die'.

... many ProZ polls read like marketing claims from the companies that are propagating 'working-wonders ai', while the reality is: ai is not making them any money. To the contrary, they are financing one another to keep the zombie bubble alive, creating a vicious circle within _that_ industry with huge damaging potential. They should think on how _they_ could cleverly and quickly adapt once the bubble bursts.

The clever part is increasingly coming from the ability to know when and to what extent to adapt.
