Thanks for that, My intentions are to stick around for sure. It is genuinely difficult to get a point across in a very short amount of time that people that people will actually recognize. its like doom scrolling where you just get boored of it. Happy to take suggestions.
< is there anything else you would like me to answer or is that good enough - GenericAI answer>
But jokes aside, words are difficult and also not my first language
- 100ms 4mo agoI don't think any value would be lost in that case by simply deleting the text and not replacing it with anything. AI is particularly bad at inserting this kind of filler, it can sometimes be really hard to spot even though it's right in front of your eyes. Just more hidden cost of AI.. it's sufficiently hard to avoid these kinds of structural smells that I've gone back to just writing my own copy everywhere.
- smilespray 4mo agoI also write my own copy. (You're absolutely right!) But this trend on HN of calling out everything as AI slop is a bit tiring.

- kay_o 4mo agoReading so much of it on HN is presumably equally as tiring.
- smilespray 4mo agoI think the problem is that half the time the callouts are incorrect (edgelords trying to be clever) or irrelevant (non-native speakers using AI to translate or clarify).
- 100ms 4mo agoSustained pushback helps define how the tool is used, and if it only takes a few years of complaints to permanently establish good social norms around it, I think we're better for it. At least, I much prefer this than a world where everyone is too polite to complain about slop until slop is all that is left..
- smilespray 4mo agoI agree. However, it's gotten so bad that people are calling out AI slop on things they just don't care for — or mistake human writing for AI — which paradoxically becomes its own red flag to ignore the comment, even if there are valid points within. I just used the em dash twice, and have been doing so for 35 years. This is now supposedly a dead give-away for slop. Call it slop when it's slop. When it's not total garbage, give it a rest.
- nik282000 4mo agoHonestly I would prefer to see text written in your own words, in your first language, and then translate it myself. AI is a hot button topic and generally a good indicator of bad practice lately :/ Regardless, your project looks fantastic, good luck!
