I don't want to read what you didn't write

    These last few days, there has been a small stream of blogposts on HN expressing similar things, and I have enjoyed them all.

    My question recently has been how to broach this subject with colleagues who really enjoy producing prose with AI. There is not yet a better cultural shorthand for this sort of thing than "slop" which is a harsh-sounding word and itself sort of a thought-terminating cliché. "I don't want to read what you didn't write" is maybe closer — but it needs a pithier and somewhat more encouraging encapsulation, like "I want to hear it from you".

    Has anyone had good experiences setting up professional boundaries or team norms around AI-written docs?

      I’ve been away. Does anyone have a collection of these posts?
