> You see this with visual artists who got way too into image generation, and because they have to spin the wheel a thousand times to get one good output, they have totally habituated themselves to a lower standard by the time they emerge from the AI mines clutching their one good output
Is this actually true? I know of no artists nor programmers who used to have strict requirements, careful eyes and "good taste" who after playing around with AI suddenly dropped those things, that'd be very against basically their personality.
Do you have any concrete and practical examples of any currently public artists you've seen be affected by this?

(Also, this website when Show HNs with slop READMEs get to the front page and nobody seems to notice that it's written in grating Claudese.)

Or you know, it's just not that important whether the README is written by Claude or not.
Generally speaking people don't use a service/library for the author's ability to write excellent proses.

I think this is incredibly wrong. I'd even go as far to say that a well presented README/website is the second most important factor, only behind network effect.
Presentation matters. Good documentation is evidence of a library that has been carefully thought through. Slop in the readme suggests slop in the code.

In this case the point is that they accompany the new flood of low-effort self-promoted shovelware vibecode projects.
