Keyword, buzz phrase, input, output, no thinking. Precisely. As Orwell put it... “just a noise, a quack-quack-quacking.” Describing a fellow party member in the Ministry canteen who spoke ceaselessly in a mechanical stream of indistinguishable words -- 1984, 1949 “one often has a curious feeling that one is not watching a live human being but some kind of dummy: a feeling which suddenly becomes stronger at moments when the light catches the speaker’s spectacles and turns them into blank discs which seem to have no eyes behind them.” -- "Politics and the English Language," 1946 ;-)
