I feel like every article on HN now disguises itself as interesting but the content is just the same boring AI slop.

I have been reading HN for a few years, and my feeling is that I find fewer and fewer interesting articles. Maybe it's just me, and the average articles are the same quality.

Now I tend to skim through it to see if a title looks like it may bring interesting discussions, and then I skim through the discussions. Because there are very knowledgeable people who sometimes share valuable insights.

Interestingly, last time I asked a question, hoping to get interesting people to share insights, I was answered that I "should learn how to use an LLM instead of asking questions" :-).

Same here. Unless a site is known for good quality, I only open articles after checking top comments. Most days I just read the daily digest of discussions - which sometimes piques my curiosity enough to check the original links.
I don't think the contents is AI sklop at all. It just haooens to be abiut AI.
At this point those are about the same in terms of quality.

"I spent money writing "a prompt* and this is what I learned".

"They're portable, auditable, and composable. No MCP server required. No plugin marketplace to browse. Just a folder with a SKILL.md in it." It screams lazy ai slop copy-paste. Now when I see this kind of obvious llm tell, I can't help but feel betrayed for investing time in giving it a shot in the first place.
