Is this not just more AI slop? Why is anyone commenting or voint it up?

Mh no in this case, just... me. I posted this before going out to grab dinner with my sister, and honestly didn't expect any of this traction. Came back to dozens of comments, stars, traffic spikes, app down... lol

How do you even come to that conclusion? There's nothing on that page that screams "AI slop" to me.

The readme and the emojis seem heavily AI.

I hope people come to realize that this kind of stuff is a major turn-off right out of the gate.

Could be, I've seen a weird trend of using AI to write content when it doesn't make sense. Sure, using it to write a blog post about a topic is "slop" but I can see arguments for it. Using it to improve thoughts you have in your head, by making up details and add emojis however, I can't understand.

For example as a heavy FB Market place user I see a lot of stuff like:

[picture of an iPhone 12]

- iphone 14 - new battery - delivers to [enter your state here] - comes with [enter accessories it comes with]

Like they were too lazy to even fill in the brackets or ensure some level of accuracy. What's the point?

		That's a problem that was solved in the 1980s with the introduction of "mail merge" functionality in word processors. Using an LLM to do this is like using a sledgehammer to swat a fly.
