If it’s not worth writing, it’s not worth reading. That said, wouldn’t it be funny if this site, too, were AI generated?

I understand the sensation of disgust when being offered to read a piece of AI slop. However, I'm actually curious about how our sensitivity towards slop will evolve. I imagine people will have varying degrees of tolerance. Afterall, AI slop doesn't necessarily mean the prompter didn't read. It just means they're OK with the AI phrasing. It's also possible that they read the output and had the AI update with whatever edits they prompted. Writing this comment makes me more convinced that if us users of AI want our written work to be taken seriously, then we should also share our prompts. I hope we quickly converge into a standard way of sharing the prompts that generated a given product.

Ironic that this itself is an obvious slop site

While I agree with the sentiment, this: If you couldn't bother to read it, why should I? doesn't follow. You don't know that they didn't read it! Only that they didn't write it. If the point of things like this is to be careful, then be careful.

TAI;DR. I think maybe just AI;DR...?

Really cool! Reminds me of my own manifesto, which I've written since getting sick of dealing with the hype and gatekeeping machine that surrounds AI based development right now. https://www.just-prompt-motherfucker.com/

the irony here is that this entire website is dripping with AI design slop edit: didn't realize i verbatim repeated what everyone else said

It is hard to know what is getting more tiresome, AI writing or complaining about AI writing. We get it, we feel the same way.

All the visually noisy parts really don't help it get the point across. More like the opposite. It should be line https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

Most people at my work don't think I'm using AI simply because I instruct it to never use more than two sentences of max 10-15 words each.

> a boundary, not an acronym problem The irony...

I have my AI agents read documents on my behalf and then ask them questions. Whether those documents are written by humans or not.
