I'm not going to spend an hour trying to distill the AI-slop to find out what potential golden nugget may lie in there.
It's impossible to judge the content if it's buried under a landfill. "If you won't take the time to write it, I won't take the time to read it."

- uean 2mo agoThanks for this. My point is proven.

- flyingcoder 2mo agoHow did web3 and crypto work out for you buddy?
- jorisw 2mo agoYou’re confusing moving on with the times, and using new tools wrong
- vivzkestrel 2mo ago- you are going to regret offloading this much of your brain's critical thinking to an external source in the long run - every night a good number of neuron connections in your brain are automatically severed because you did not use that ability - over long periods of time, it ll take you to a point where you wont be able to write a simple factorial program on your own without gpt telling you - i am not saying this to incite you or mock you or anything. i am just concerned about how much of your thinking you are offloading
- danggggg 2mo ago[dead]
- juleiie 2mo agoI am not offloading anything. I need way more critical thinking than I ever needed before to review solutions proposed by my digital slaves to evaluate whether they are garbage or good. If you think that having slaves means you don’t need to be a good administrator, then you are sorely mistaken. It requires more brainpower than it ever did to manage a project the size what used to do a 100 people team. All on your own. The fact that I am arguing with all of you here and not blindingly follow the narrative should tell you all you need to know about my critical thinking prowess.
- bluefirebrand 2mo ago> I need way more critical thinking than I ever needed before to review Review does not require more critical thinking than designing or building.
- juleiie 2mo agoDesigning is all I do basically. AI just a calculator but I tell it what to do and guide it. Guys you cannot win this argument. We will soon be in a new era. It’s like the old math heads complaining about calculators. Does anyone complain about calculators making us dumb nowadays? You can of course avoid this tech like a plague and miss out and that’s fine. No one cares
- bluefirebrand 2mo ago> Does anyone complain about calculators making us dumb nowadays It's a fact that people who rely on calculators for everything lose their skills at mental math What do you think will happen when people rely on computers for everything? Your new era is going to be full of idiots And I wouldn't care about that except you all seem to be insisting on dragging everyone down with you
- yieldcrv 2mo agoyes but tell your slopywriter to be less verbose, get to the point

- fg137 2mo ago> because that’s how things will look like from now on. No it's not. People are increasingly getting fed up with slops like this -- you can see comments in HN discussions. Many people just completely skip those articles.
- gist 2mo ago> People are increasingly getting fed up with slops like this -- you can see comments in HN discussions. Why claim 'people' (plenty of people get value from satisficing) and even try to use 'see comments in HN discussions' as if there is something that actually documents that ie 'we all think it'. I skimmed it and even skimming it I got value from (what some others here) call 'slop'. (The value was basically it gave me an idea of something I could implement and again I didn't have to study it or even understand everything (or agree) just seeing someone did that made me think about something I might want to do.
- prepend 2mo agoMore importantly, I’ve started my own little blacklist of people and site I just ignore. There’s people at work whose messages get completely ignored after too many times of posting verbose, useless, ai slop.
- sporedro 2mo agoIf I want to read AI output, I’ll just ask my own AI. I’m not going to bother reading someone else’s AI.
- prepend 2mo agoIt’s not my problem because I can safely skip ai slop without fomo. It’s extremely rare that someone smart with something smart to say produces this crap. Like someone said upthread if the author isn’t willing to spend time writing cogently then I don’t think it’s worth my time to try to parse it.
