It's generating buzz alright, but anyone with AI can do it.

Usually this kind of content doesn't reach HN because the antibodies kill it sooner. If you're arguing the antibody-bypassing succeeded here, ok... but that's not a solid defense of AI slop.

Anyone can do slop.

[fragmede]

okay, show me yours

[the_af]

I don't like this kind of slop, why would I generate it? Just to win internet points with you, a random stranger?

[fragmede]

so, you can't. Contrary to your original claim that "anyone" can, you're unable to.

[the_af]

No, I didn't say I can't. I said anybody can, I just won't because I despise slop. I'm sure there are plenty of things you can do but won't because you're against them.

Twisting my words is against HN guidelines. Please don't.

[fragmede]

If we’re citing guidelines, they also discourage shallow dismissals. Dismissing something as “AI slop” doesn’t feel much different. Whatever your opinion of the process, that’s still dismissive. Please don’t.

[the_af]

No, I'm entitled to my opinion, and I was replying to your Schumacher comment.

Please, don't be a troll. Learn to accept disagreement without being snarky or dismissive of other opinions.

An example of trollish behavior is intentionally misrepresenting what I said, like you did above ("so you can't"). I disagreed with you, but didn't twist your words.

PS: you'll note TFA is currently flagged, so it seems enough people on HN agreed with me. I won't say I always agree with flagging, and I also understand that the majority isn't always right -- but in this case, at the very least it shows my opinion wasn't an outlier.
