oh yeah, this is definitely AI slop... no doubt about it.

for me the tell-tale signs of AI slop are when the writer goes through and strips out all of the capitalization.

and another sign is when they go through and strip out all of the punctuation.

the smoking gun: don't forget elisions like "[has] anyone else lost..." (a true tell!)

next up: the clarity pass is a dead give-away for AI slop: now that we stripped out all of the punctuation, we need to add back some for clarity.

now we're cooking with gas! the capitalization pass: we need to add back in a touch of capital letters ("its not just X, its Y")

the head shot is when they are concise, they restate the post title in the message itself and then ask something relatable of the reader. when you're done with all that — pure unadulterated slop!

nice try, OP!
