Can this non genuine AI slop comment be flagged?

This is no AI slop.

On the contrary, you cannot find frequently descriptions about the role of Michael O. Rabin in the creation of public-key cryptography, so few people are aware of it and I bet that no AI model can generate any text even remotely resembling this, because this information cannot be found in any single place in the possible training texts.

You can find definitions of secure hash functions everywhere, but pretty much nowhere you will find who are the authors of the conditions that are used in the modern definition and who have introduced the use of one-way hash functions.

I did not find this information anywhere, before reading the original publications of Rabin and Merkle from 1978/1979 and some later follow-up papers written by them.

You will not find this historical information in Wikipedia and I believe that it is important to know who are the true authors of the things that one uses daily. Connecting to this site or to any other site with https uses digital signatures that depend on the collision-resistant hash functions defined by Rabin and Merkle.

The Wikipedia article about Michael O. Rabin lists many of his achievements, but all those that are listed there are much less important than his contribution to the definition of the one-way hash functions, which lead to secure digital signatures.

Wikipedia mentions only the Rabin signature algorithm, but that has negligible importance, because it has been used only very rarely. On the other hand all other signature algorithms are based on the work of Rabin, by using secure hash functions.

I don't think that is AI slop. adrian_b often post long posts because he thinks he has a lot to say, but you can often tell that they contain his personal views and points that he thinks are important related to the discussions whereas actual AI slop tends to be bland and generic.

I wouldn’t really call that AI slop. Some people just write longer posts because they’ve got a lot they want to get across, and you can usually tell it reflects their own opinions and what they think matters in the discussion. Actual AI-generated stuff tends to come off more generic and lacks that personal angle.

I really enjoyed reading it.
