| I also write my own copy. (You're absolutely right!) But this trend on HN of calling out everything as AI slop is a bit tiring. |

| Reading so much of it on HN is presumably equally as tiring. |

| Sustained pushback helps define how the tool is used, and if it only takes a few years of complaints to permanently establish good social norms around it, I think we're better for it. At least, I much prefer this than a world where everyone is too polite to complain about slop until slop is all that is left.. |

| ▲ | smilespray 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I agree. However, it's gotten so bad that people are calling out AI slop on things they just don't care for — or mistake human writing for AI — which paradoxically becomes its own red flag to ignore the comment, even if there are valid points within. I just used the em dash twice, and have been doing so for 35 years. This is now supposedly a dead give-away for slop. Call it slop when it's slop. When it's not total garbage, give it a rest. |
