Do you count any use of LLMs, including highly reviewed and controlled use as "slop"?
The idea that there can be no high quality use of LLMs to aid software development is lacking a lot of nuance.
The files (even the go.mod) contain references to "yourusername". You can be certain this project's LLM use was not highly reviewed and controlled.
If it is high quality use, we would not notice the AI. It would just be good code.
But this is not what that site tracks. It lists any project with any LLM usage or potential usage (eg. permissive AI usage policy, but no evidence of AI use) without any caveats. It is an extreme, absolutely no AI usage, stance.
It's amazing, people act as if there wasn't shit code before LLMs.
LLMs are just another multiplier. A liability in the hands of incompetence and an asset in the hands competence.
Another tool, knowledge will always empower those further than those without knowledge.
Yes.

"slop: Anything generated by AI, typically code, books, articles, or images."
If you are reviewing AI generated code, you are already reviewing slop which is a lose-lose situation.
