Do you have proof? A hunch? Quality issues that detracted from the article?

I despise AI slop, but this is a great article and a worthy cause. If AI was used, and helped make this article a reality, then the author did a great job of guiding the AI, and doing quality checks.

No 2025 HN thread is complete without someone accusing someone else of using AI or someone using the word "slop".

Bullet points? Must be AI. Em-dash? Obviously slop. Not only this, but that? Holy moly, AI slop.

(we ignore whether or not the writing is actually interesting, engaging, educational, etc. of course)
