Tbh, I did spend a lot of time trying to ground it and de-slopify it - verified nothing was halucinated and went through 10 iterations to get to this. It's almost like…

I'm the author, yes it is AI-assisted. You can make AI-generated content without it being slop. Slop, to me at least, is content that's wrong, padded, or generic. I see the cadence / short-sentence issues but if there's something else beyond those, I'd actually want to know what made it feel bad. I would've put off documenting what I did over the weekend but instead, I did document everything, spent quite some time (several iterations) and effort to make sure it does not hallucinate and writes in my own tone and voice. I'm sure it could be better but the content is not made-up. At a time where most of us software engineers have changed our workflows to let AI write 80+% of our code using agents, I feel writing is heading the same way. It then becomes a matter of taste, whether it's done well or not. If you're looking clues and signs for w

hether a content has used AI, you're going to be disappointed over the next 12 months. If it feels jarring right now, I'll work harder on the workflow so it feels more natural next time (someone shared this project with me - https://github.com/blader/humanizer). But this clearly allows me to make content which I wouldn't have done earlier.

Tbh, I did spend a lot of time trying to ground it and de-slopify it - verified nothing was halucinated and went through 10 iterations to get to this. It's almost like wrestling with Claude and I knew it would be tough on HN. But because of the fear of non-perfection, I used to put away things like creating this article or even posting it anywhere. And I do think the article has real value that HN would appreciate (I am myself an HN-enthusiast). I'll try more. Someone else shared this project which would be really helpful - https://github.com/blader/humanizer Also a side note, the blog is posted on my self-created Slopit.io platform which is purely meant for your personal agents (working along with you) to post content - I recommend trying it out. https://blog.slopit.io/this-blog-post-is-slop/ I know, things are getting difficult with al

l the slop around, but my personal opinion is, as the agents get better at writing, the "annoying-ness" factor reduces and pieces of substance will still be appreciated, even if it was written by agents. This and the fact that agents aren't going away. If I've automated a lot of my coding, I feel like engineers like me would naturally progress to also taking agents' help to write useful content. PS - this comment was 100% hand-typed.
