Look, if you're going to use AI to write your posts, use it to de-slop them. There are plenty of tools out there, AI can find them and run them on its own output. Reading the same mannerisms over and over and over is painful for your audience and it's literally one command to fix. Please do us the courtesy of running that command, or better yet, making it part of your permanent workflow.

Tbh I appreciate knowing immediately that no effort was put into writing an article and that no effort is worth being put into reading it. I genuinely (hah) think it's good that different llms have distinct voices when writing. It doesn't bother me when using it for coding because ok that's just how Claude talks, and in the wild seeing folks present claudeslop as their own writing is a really nice really quick quality/effort signal. Adding another step to the prompt doesn't mean whoever generated this report actually out any more real effort into making sure this is any good

In my view, it's not so much the writing style itself as the lack of 'taste'. Text that clearly seems AI-written has a flat level of exuberance that's just exhausting, kind of like a written version of the 'loudness war'.

Without some kind of dynamic range, I find myself having to do a lot of work to infer what points are truly important versus what are at best interesting implementation details.

You're right to push back on that. The honest truth is that the slop is load-bearing.
