From the thread: But I think that lately quite a noticeable percentage of reports have become very much valid. As you say, Sashiko tends to be quite good. Even when it flags something unnecessarily and there's no actual problem, there's likely to be a reason for the question. And we've seen some truly stellar reports too. Things that are deep and subtle, and the AI is 100% correct. So anybody who thinks that all AI is slop is in denial about the current state. Linus

From the outset the term slop implied there's a quality range, and that it's subject to manner of application.
