Seems that the comments for every article posted to HN these days has complaints about AI.
For people who feel compelled to make such complaints - can you at least include a specific example or two from the article that you feel are "slop"? And preferably something more substantive than calling out the use of em dash.
AI slop is definitely a thing, but it is a logical fallacy to assume that every article written with the help of AI is slop. And this article didn't feel like AI slop to me, so I'm curious to know why you think it is.
Anti-AI slop is also very much a thing. Let's try to avoid posting that as well.
People love to feel like they're the clever ones in the know who see the "real" world that others miss. It's the same underlying motivator behind conspiracy theorists. It's nice that you see what's really happening, which clearly makes you better than all the others who stumble around blindly. They're not special like you are.
I read "AI slop from the looks of it" in the same tone of voice as "that's what they want you to believe".
