Indeed. Well written, clear, informative and to the point.

  So to-the-point that it comes with a table of contents. Idk if it needs saying that ToCs have legitimate uses, but the number of search results and blog posts having one since ~2022 is, eh, interesting. You come for whatever the headline was and you get a page with thousands of words, split up into five or more chapters, many of them overlapping or a rephrasing of the same question if you've hit a true content farm. This is not that, but I also can't fathom how one could argue that slop is concise as a hallmark As for being well-written, does that refer to correct use of grammar and no typos, or do you mean that you find that bots write better than humans in any other way?

  It could be the best written, most informative article they've ever read, but anti-ai folks would dismiss it as slop the moment someone told them it was written by ai.

    The problem is that we don’t know if a human fact-checked it before release or if we’re the first humans reading it closely.

      We don't really know that about human written text either.
      • smt88 4mo ago
        Yes we do because a human literally had to write it. That’s at least one human pass and fact-check.

  As of now, any human effort is still ~= quality. Human-written article signals to me that a certain amount of time was spent on it, which is a proxy for quality. This goes for both text and diagrams. If someone slapped together an article from an LLM and a few internal documents, that tells me exactly how much they cared about it.
