| I was interested in reading this until my slop detector went off at the paragraph starting with “It's worth being precise about where the benefit comes from, because it isn't raw speed.” I love AI, but I really hate reading it. |

| I have had to stop commenting this because it would end up on 50% of the posts here. I really wish we could flag prose as ai-generated on here and just filter it out. |

| ▲ | hankbond an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Next up, LinkedIn starts using this feedback to train a classifier. They then announce an officially approved "not slop" classification only for LinkedIn Gold member posts. The classified posts have a wider reach due to everyone filtering out AI slop. Non-members automatically get bucketed in with the slop bc they don't pay to have the verified classifier run on them. | |

| Cloudflare blogs are not meant to be human-read, AFAIK. They're raw material meant to be fed into an agent to be filtered down. I rarely read the contents because they are usually word-expanded to a greater degree than an article from The Atlantic. |
