It somewhat boggles my mind that there are an incredible number of persistent, useless, and annoying comments on here every day accusing any and every article of being AI slop.

AI is a machine that generates content that is supposed to be statistically identical to the content that it was trained on, and it's trained on the content posted here.

The content here will look like AI generated content, and the AI generated content will look like the content here. By fucking definition.

Instead we get a bunch of pseudo-intellectual, hokey about how "my AI radar is perfect!" and "I can always spot it because of [insert bullshit about detecting style that's semantically the same as the pre-existing stuff]".

It's just... exhausting.

Yes - there is a lot of AI content on here. Just like there were a bunch of (and still are) under whelming marketing articles on here. Just like there's STILL a bunch of interesting and engaging articles (some of them even written by AI!).

Just vote based on the content and move on with your lives.

People out here wasting time and energy on trying to burn witches. If you want a "sure-fire" AI free experience... Go talk to a real person, in person. Otherwise...

>"my AI radar is perfect!"

...or "my transdar is perfect!"

It's just like how right wing MAGA bigots harasses cis women (like Michelle Obama and so many others), up to and beyond peeking into their bathroom stalls and violently confronting them, all in the name of protecting women (who they never gave a flying fuck about before), because they don't believe they conform to their traditional ideals of feminity.
