@HamelHusain The craft has always lived in the heavy edit. The model just makes the early drafts less lonely. As long as there are lazy humans, there will always be slop. Its not really about caring about other people's time, its about a person not valuing their own brain.
@TheZachMueller thought it was fine to sound like AI for logistics comm. but turned out more often than expected, ppl do care if it sounds like a human's there to actually take charge
Also, SlopGuard is a great package as baby steps https://github.com/eric-tramel/slop-guard/tree/main
@HamelHusain This x1000000. Also: know your target audience (humans vs AI)

@TheZachMueller very interesting baby steps! 😍
@HamelHusain You're absolutely right!
Writing AI slop on the timeline is like pouring pollutants into a river It’s a really selfish act. It communicates you don’t care about other people’s time by writing - low information density prose - unecessary poetry, rythm, negative contrasts, and fluff sentences - obfuscated style mediated by an AI so we can’t tell who you really are All this takes tremendous cognitive load to read. But more importantly makes you wonder how little empathy the author has for the reader, and just overall.
AI slop is not the same as AI generated You can make good stuff with AI. It’s just the low effort/quality stuff that’s slop. Writing has an endemic rn You can write well with AI if you take lots of care and edit heavily https://twitter.com/hamelhusain/status/2077057604245999972
