Well I wouldn't. The whole point of communication is that something is adequately communicated, otherwise it makes for an extremely frustrating experience.

And the whole point about "slop" is exactly that the communication is not adequate (despite superficial eloquence), because it's "sloppy" thinking full of unnecessary verbiage that goes nowhere and disrespects the reader, making for an extremely frustrating communication experience.

But if AI (re-)phrasing helps communicate a message clearly then it's not slop. It's just AI assisted. Being able to spot common AI patterns isn't proof of slop, no-matter how sensitive to slop one might be.

And I'm saying this as a person who's VERY much against slop.
