If we know ‘where it came from’ in the sense that the author couldn’t even bother writing anything themselves, why should other people bother reading this deluge of nonsensical strung together words?
That's my point, we won't bother reading it. We'll let agents read it. People will eventually stop getting ticked off at this stuff.
One exception: if the model is poor or on 'low' and that leads to a crappy report. That's the equivalent of shipping performance-critical code built with -O0 in the compiler analogy.
Is there any indication that it was a mini/fast/older model, or on a low effort level? My read of the reactions above is "ugh AI", not "ugh AI on the cheap". Not a single poster mentioned model or effort choice. It seems more like the usual irritation at "AI slop".
If you just mean that the result was technically incorrect or off, that's probably true, but it doesn't affect my argument.
