Why don't you judge the results, if the slop is so easy to detect, instead of using the mere indication of a particular tool to mean it's slop? Lazy.

- acedTrex 10mo agoBecause it is not reasonable to expend high effort to verify something that took no effort to create. That is not a workable long term solution. Instead you have to rely on low effort signals to signify if something is WORTH expending energy on.
- embedding-shape 10mo agoI didnt read your comment, because it would take me longer than just writing: your comment looks like LLM slop.
- acedTrex 10mo agoIf thats your signal then you lock yourself out of all parts of this website, not the best heuristic
- embedding-shape 10mo agoYeah, that'd be stupid right? I have the same mindset with projects and code. If it's a good project, it's a good project, I don't care what IDE they used. If the code is shit it's shit regardless of how it was produced. But at least point to something concrete so me and others could potentially learn something, or understand something better.
- keepamovin 10mo agoAgree, but, ah, can you illuminate. <totally-offtopic data-but="i am intesnely curious"> Quite amazing 6000 points in under 3 months. Yuge. OK a few almost 1K posts, but they drop off. You must have some mega-point comments. Can you, eh, "point me" to a comment of yours that has a super amount of upvotes? Sorry if this is weird, it's just I've never personally experienced a comment with anything more than 100 - 200 points. And that was RARE. I totally get if you don't want to...but like, what were your "kilopoint" comments, or thereabouts? </offtopic>

- stephenhumphrey 10mo agoHealthy skepticism is certainly laudable, but too many llmuddites seem rather aggressive while whistling past their own graveyards.
- embedding-shape 10mo agoYeah, hypers need to cool their language down a bit and llmuddites need to acquire a bit of nuance. New technology tends to create large camps initially on both sides :)
