Yeah it’s ai generated obviously but as I said previously which some people didn’t like - don’t judge the tools, judge the content.

I don’t care if robot hand written this or black or white. It’s useful.

I'm not going to spend an hour trying to distill the AI-slop to find out what potential golden nugget may lie in there.

It's impossible to judge the content if it's buried under a landfill. "If you won't take the time to write it, I won't take the time to read it."

    • - you are going to regret offloading this much of your brain's critical thinking to an external source in the long run

      - every night a good number of neuron connections in your brain are automatically severed because you did not use that ability

      - over long periods of time, it ll take you to a point where you wont be able to write a simple factorial program on your own without gpt telling you

      - i am not saying this to incite you or mock you or anything. i am just concerned about how much of your thinking you are offloading

      No it's not.

      People are increasingly getting fed up with slops like this -- you can see comments in HN discussions.

      Many people just completely skip those articles.

    • If I want to read AI output, I’ll just ask my own AI. I’m not going to bother reading someone else’s AI.

    • It’s not my problem because I can safely skip ai slop without fomo.

      It’s extremely rare that someone smart with something smart to say produces this crap.

      Like someone said upthread if the author isn’t willing to spend time writing cogently then I don’t think it’s worth my time to try to parse it.

"slop" is a perfectly valid judgement of content

surely if we're expected to read this ourselves, the author can write it themselves?

indeed, it's helpful to the author, too: writing helps you learn
