Love the way the author labels each of his diagrams as “AI Slop”!

It's one of the neat features of the AsciiDoc language. The user is able to change captions mid document, in this case :figure-caption:. AsciiDoc and Antora are things I've invested a lot of my time into

I'm kind of fascinated by the first diagram on the page. It sits so firmly in the uncanny valley for me and I can't put my finger on why. By itself every part looks ok and normal, but as a whole it just screams AI to me. I don't know if its the color choices or the composition or something else. It all just feels that little bit off.

I mean, I know its AI, the page says so itself, no one is trying to hide it. But it also just gives me AI vibes on such a subliminal level that I can't figure out why.

		It's the amount of little icons and bold text. And then phrases like "No NAT, No Port-forwards" Also details like the light blue boxes being swapped.

		To me there's something about the "AI Slop Font" where it instantly triggers that uncanny valley. I guess since it's kind of an average of a bunch of fonts so it's somehow familiar but also unfamiliar at the same time.

		Absolutely can relate. Thats why I would say: Do your own diagrams! At least the text and formatting. Where I do think it ads value is "AI slop 2". This is somehow even better comprehensible than an average photo.

The pic "AI Slop 2. A Real World Situation" is great, the USB cable is connected to the wrong end of the Pico!
