Initially, the page looked very intriguing and the promises looked every fascinating. A whole DX toolchain in one binary? The binary can run in different systems? Only 3 MB? Then I read the comments here saying its ai slop, I lost all my interest now.

why? why you should care if it is human written or by ai, if the result is the same?
Traditionally if a human spent some of their limited time here on Earth to create something, they must have believe there was some value in it, and other humans will be inclined to spend a bit of their limited time here on Earth to take a look and see if they value it as well. Sometimes, the only person who values it is the creator, but often other people will value it as well.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm not going to use the precious time I have alive wading through the mountains of schlock that LLMs can spew out looking for anything of value. I'm interested in things a human wanted to spend their finite time doing instead of something else.

Human accomplishment is a predictor of future accomplishment. AI not as much.

Human effort signals value, AI does not.

Human effort is often inviting collaboration. AI rarely does.

Because the result isn't the same. Not yet anyway.
That’s a big if. I am not willing to spend time on reviewing slop. I am already on my limit of how much information I process daily.
Does this mean that you will not review human slop too?

Then, what if ai will write something cool/good/interesting/high quality/amazing?
