In other exciting and groundshaking news: water wet!
And I have to admit I thought the title was a joke.
However, I loved the detailed description of just how bad it can be. And it puzzles me why people present AI slop as authoritative. Happens a lot in discussions these days. One example was someone presenting me with a grok answer about some aspect of the energy system. It turned out grok was off by a factor of 1000.
Of course you can also use that to your advantage with people who believe AI slop, as it is fairly simple to get the AI to produce the answer you want, including the answer you know is right ;-)
And I've actually started using AI a bit more in my coding, and it's been helpful as a starter. For example to get my little HTMX-Native project going, I needed to figure out how to configure Android's WebView for local data access.
Would I have figured it out eventually? Yes.
Was it faster with AI? Yes.
Was the AI answer faulty? Yes.
Was it still helpful? Yes.
