I don’t understand how LLMs make more stuff “bike sheddable”. What LLMs do is allow people to contribute low value garbage to all areas, but we have a word for that and it’s not “bike shedding”. It’s “slop”.
- cyanydeez 2mo agobike shedding is slop; you're arguing with some anchored semantics where culture, terms, etc are fluid. Can only assume english might not be your first language.
- dpark 2mo agoI hope this weird redefinition of bike shedding doesn’t take off. It’s a useful and meaningful term and repurposing it to mean AI slop is negative value. Thankfully until this thread I’d never seen anyone use the term this way. > Can only assume english might not be your first language. This not-subtle insult does not add anything here.
- cyanydeez 2mo agoit's not an insult. Declaring this both a fixed context and definition for any given piece of language is typically related to language learners. An insult would suggest it's also related to autism.
- dpark 2mo ago“You disagree with me about the meaning of this word so clearly you have a poor grasp of the language” is absolutely an insult.
