   If it’s not worth writing, it’s not worth reading.

   That said, wouldn’t it be funny if this site, too, were AI generated?

      I just wonder how many people smugly cry 'slop' and then immediately go ask chatgpt about something they want to know about. I suspect it's a surprisinly large amount.

         There’s a difference between using and sharing. I don’t want to see your notebook. I want to see the finished document. To some of us, the difference is intuitively obvious, so we’re offended by what we’re getting at work these days.

            I'm very envious of your workplace if the stuff before AI was somehow well written. If I had AI 10 years ago I would've been mostly using it to interpret most of the corporate speak e-mails and poorly written technical briefs.

               Now I get corporate-speak tech docs in addition to irrelevant internal comms. AI doesn't magically make your coworkers put in more effort. It just puts a veneer of professionalism over the same output.

         Those are different though. One is just reading your own slop, the other is trying to make others read your slop. I don't love either one, but it's clear that one is a lot worse.
