  "account": "The new boss wants a quick rundown on the company's content management system (CMS) to utilize its vast amount of documentation. The employee braces for a lengthy session, suggesting a strong coffee as the CMS is a place where documents perish. The boss inquires if the employee was part of the selection committee, to which the employee responds that such a committee should consist of individuals unburdened by reliability, safe data management, and backupability. The employee explains that the CMS lacks a proper index, dynamically creating tags and keywords using AI, which regenerates nightly based on keyword frequency and theme frequency matching. The employee also mentions that deleting a document does not remove its keyword, causing it to be associated with related documents. The employee concludes that the CMS is where documents go to die, and staff love it due to its ease of use.",
