What the author describes are all the usual defenses of LLM slop, all the usual weasel words that boil down to "But I'm different and smart, my slop isn't slop."

Applying a label to my reasoning to discredit it is also not done in good faith, and simultaneously does not make it any less true.

LLM slop is fundamentally a "what color are your bits" kind of situation. And you cannot, in any way, ship-of-theseus it away from slop.

I'm not saying your actual point couldn't be valid or fully defensible, just to be clear.

My view is that there are people capable of vetting LLM generated code, and people who are not capable of it, based on their previous track record of vetting non-LLM generated code and the quality of their own non-LLM generated code.

For example: I would trust the capability of John Carmack to vet an LLM generated bug fix, to his own game engine. Even if it was LLM generated by him, and vetted by him.
