They are most likely shills from Anthropic, there's quite a few here everytime new models come out.

That's not fair. Simon is a well-known shill for the entire AI industry, not just Anthropic.
What's your definition of "shill"?
Merriam-Webster: noun, 1b: one who makes a sales pitch or serves as a promoter

You might want to ask the guy who said it first what he meant; I was just pointing out that your work isn't particularly Anthropic-biased, in my experience.

Probably means fan, shills have undisclosed ties and I doubt he means Simon has undisclosed ties to the entire AI industry, that would be very impressive if so.
Ah, yeah. I've noticed people also starting to just use "slop" to also mean "anything I see online that I don't like" now, too.

Words apparently don't mean anything anymore.
