It looks like AI slop. Is it AI slop?

Are you asking the author to validate your own opinion? Why don't you explain why you think its slop and provide some evidence to back up your assertions and we can have a real discussion.

No, I am asking the author whether it's AI slop.

As for evidence, sir, this is a wendys.

slop is such a poorly defined term that it's very hard to answer your question meaningfully. Is all code generated by AI slop? Many different opinions on this and questions to be answered as LLMs continue to shift the programming landscape.

Having said that, you could have just clicked the link and found https://github.com/nordstjernen-web/nordstjernen/commits/mai... with a bunch of commits by claude. It took longer to write this than it took to figure out whether AI was used.

Yeah, why do you think I said it looks like AI slop?

I think this criticism is very poor. Claude is competent and well suited for implementing a web browser.

I took a look at the code, it showed the usual tells for slop, hence my question.

Claude is well suited for many things, it does not mean that it never is used to generate slop.

Just read the linked Readme if you don't want to read the code, it's the usual slop.
