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?

      In my current position(DevOps) we are getting this kind of messages or issues a lot recently. While forwarding these issues to my team lead, i don't have to deal with them which feels great but once its assigned to me... Its another long process to understand what issue actually means and what i need to do.

      Thats said, i don't know any professional way for this but currenlty trying to communicate with peers in order to work without a problem.
