I find the contextless, reflexive labeling of every article on HN as “AI slop” far sloppier and lazier than the articles being criticized. I am no fan of these trends, nor the companies driving them, but this sort of lazy critique has become counterproductive, IMO.

But it is AI slop. It's obvious that the text is all AI-generated, there's half a dozen different tells that punch you in the face from the first paragraph and never stop. Humans just don't write like this. (And fwiw, Pangram flags it as 100% AI-generated).

This particular blog also has the benefit of having some pre-LLM history. You can see that the older writing style is totally different.

So the "author" is already being lazy and dishonest in presenting this as their own work. Why would we believe any part of the story? Why are you trying to give the benefit of the doubt to something so egregiously bad?
