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.

You’re entitled to your opinion, sure. I’m just pointing out that calling something “AI slop” is still a dismissal, not an argument. That kind of shorthand shuts down discussion instead of adding to it.

Well, enough people agreed to flag the article... "AI slop" is a well understood term here, enough that people know what I mean and agreed with it. It carries meaning; I don't need to spell out why it's slop (especially since the author essentially admitted it is, in other words. Paraphrasing someone else in this comments section, "if you can't make the effort to write it, why should I make the effort to read it?").

And you can disagree with my disagreement without resorting to snark.

You think “AI slop” speaks for itself; I think it short-circuits discussion. Different takes, all good. Sorry about the snark.
