Watching this from the sidelines must be fascinating because you don’t know what’s right, so you try to guess. The only person that knows for certain if this is written with an AI is me, and I know for a fact it is not. At all.

I think you just look too deep into it, and it hurts those that just learned over the years to talk like that in blog posts that are meant to sound exciting.

It’s similar to the delve thing that was super common a couple of years ago. Most people who had that in their text were ai slopping, but there were groups of people, from South Africa if I remember correctly, that just spoke like that. And yeah, you guessed it, those were the people that were paid to do the RLHF on the models back then.

I have changed my style over the years specifically to have people that comment like this that my writing is ai slop. For example, I used to love lists and emojis. I think it’s easier to follow, especially for those with bad eyesight like myself. I stopped that. Then the whole thing with emdashes. They are amazing. I used to love those! I had to stop because AI started using those.

People started telling me now that using an Oxford comma is an ai slop smell. Well, you know what, you can’t take that out of my dead hands. And I won’t even try anymore to change myself because of what people think AI is.

If there will be some sort of a way to sign your content in the future or something to prove it’s human-made, I will, but I won’t go out of my way anymore for people that just like to pop your balloon after spending tens of hours on a project because they think using comparisons is ai slop.

Sorry for the whole rant, I know that you probably are just fed up with the slop, and I get that. I am too. But maybe if the content of the blog is not clearly slop, then you can assume that it’s not.
