Its entirely possible they still used some sort of AI to either transcript or edit their content tho, even if personally dictated by them etc. At which point slop becomes human authorship depends on your POV i guess
Yeah, it might be not AI Slop, what I was trying to confer, it's using the hallmarks of AI like the em-dashes etc, and yes i know "Good writing" contained this much before AI was trained on it, i guess i just meant to say i can see why someone at first sight could get confused on if its AI or not memerely due to formatting. But yeah, that's not "Slop"
