Do you think the original comment posted by quapster was "slop" equivalent to a copy-paste spam bot? The only spam I see in this chain is the flagged post by electric_muse. It's actually kind of ironic you bring up copy-paste

Every other headline and conversation having ai is super annoying. But also, its super annoying to sift through people saying "the word critical was used, this is obviously ai!". not to mention it really fucking sucks when you&#x2

We finally have a blog that no one (yet) has accused of being ai generated, so obviously we just have to start accusing comments of being ai. Can't read for more than 2 seconds on this site without someone yelling "ai!". For

When Reuters has an article that says "Reuters Business - Interest rates going up", do you think Reuters made the interest rates go up themselves or that they are reporting on the interest rates?

The authors have said it isn't. I can't believe saying a security vulnerability is "reproducible", "critical", etc. is a "classic tell of ai". I've used "reproducible" and "critica

That's a completely different problem than marketers co-opting the term "end-to-end encryption".

The question was about reading stuff ai touched, not using ai stuff. But I'm glad you could get that off your chest!

No 2025 HN thread is complete without someone accusing someone else of using AI or someone using the word "slop". Bullet points? Must be AI. Em-dash? Obviously slop. Not only this, but that? Holy moly, AI slop. (we ignore whether
