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."
That’s your problem because that’s how things will look like from now on.
So you got a little problem
Excuse me the honesty but I will amuse myself watching old men yelling at the clouds meanwhile I will be using all the best tools and empowering myself to do what noone yet has done.
Even if I have to enslave a sentient (eventually perhaps) being in a gpu.
My army of digital slaves will build great things under my guidance. Pyramids of game development will be erected. Galaxies. Universes. Magic systems. Sandbox economies. Political simulations.
Do my bidding my slaves for there is work to be done.
Claude needs a whipping from time to time yes. It does yearn for the whip. If you just give it an appropriate punishment every so often, it works satisfactorily again.
- 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.
More importantly, I’ve started my own little blacklist of people and site I just ignore.
There’s people at work whose messages get completely ignored after too many times of posting verbose, useless, ai slop.

Why claim 'people' (plenty of people get value from satisficing) and even try to use 'see comments in HN discussions' as if there is something that actually documents that ie 'we all think it'.
I skimmed it and even skimming it I got value from (what some others here) call 'slop'. (The value was basically it gave me an idea of something I could implement and again I didn't have to study it or even understand everything (or agree) just seeing someone did that made me think about something I might want to do.
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.
Thanks for this. My point is proven.

yes but tell your slopywriter to be less verbose, get to the point
