Comment on Ask HN: What's slop? what's AI written text and why read/not read?parent

So the issue it's then the lack of polishing, intention, drive, which again in every case of my list is the same irregardles of who does it.

On the other hand if there is no AI involved, but as another comment here mentions, before ai times, the ntfs driver that was not polished enough, then it's also slop.

Yes, for the NTFS driver point, I guess "slop" is nothing new, it's just now it's much faster and easier to produce it in crazy amounts.

But also, even the NTFS driver passes my test of "more effort to create it than to review it", by the way.

Absolutely agree, and yes AI is an slop-enabler tool.
