This is slop too though, right?
> Pasting a massive AI-generated response into a chat or email where a human would write one sentence. It destroys the medium itself. Nobody writes essays in Slack. It's only possible because of AI copy-paste.
> It's like calling someone and asking "What time is the meeting?" and they read you a 10-page analysis of calendar management best practices. You asked a simple question. They lobbed a document.
It’s hard to take the site seriously if the author themself isn’t able to write
- Biganon 5mo agoWhat makes you think this is AI slop?...

- joenot443 5mo ago> You asked a simple question. They lobbed a document. > It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness. These are particular sentences I find questionable. Would you write that way? I certainly wouldn't. GPTZero is by no means perfect, but it agreed this was likely generated.
- nrclark 5mo agoNot the parent, but yes I would/do write that way for effect.
- HeartStrings 5mo agoBro, do i got the bad news for you
- HeartStrings 5mo agoWe should instaban anyone who uses these patterns on ycombinator. If you talk like that for realsies, well too bad, try being more human and less linkedin next time
- gitaarik 5mo agoBut AI is trained on human text. Human writers have already been flagged as AI – by humans who think they're AI, while they were not.
- HeartStrings 5mo agoAI has been trained on the common author. If you don’t want to sound like AI, find your unique voice and write less like everyone else.
- gitaarik 5mo agoThey haven't only been trained on the common author. They have also been trained to prefer quality and to dismiss hallucinations. So if a human actually does some quality writing, people might think it's AI, like has already happened.
- Biganon 5mo ago> Would you write that way? Well English is a foreign language for me, but yes I probably would, and then I'd get called out for being an AI haha
- 1shooner 5mo agoThe heading " Why it's wrong" and the structure: >Worse: it's a conversation killer. There's nothing to respond to. Your wall of text suppresses dialogue. They can't reply, can't push back, can't clarify. It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness. This is slop. What it's saying is not even true, it's just punchy.
- HeartStrings 5mo agoRight, recent youtube solo lecture vlogs ripe with these clever punchy finishers. Annoying. I know people aren’t smart enough to actually be that witty ad hoc. Makes the whole thing feel fake af
- foobarbecue 5mo agoI found the writing clear, concise, and human.
- joenot443 5mo agoIt's certainly concise but I still remain unconvinced a human wrote it. > It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness. The source code is without a doubt AI (it's got a comment for the "<!-- Canonical URL -->"), so I guess one would have to assume they prepared the entire document beforehand, then fed it to Claude and instructed it to use that copy exactly. ...or they prompted "make me a site which tersely criticizes people who post AI slop on Slack, use the term slop grenade and style the site like nohello.net" Eventually you just get a sense for these things.
