    The way y’all overuse the word “slop” is like calling all e-mail “spam.” Both are supposed to refer to a deluge of nonsense nobody asked for. This author has an LLM in-the-loop, plainly on purpose and with purpose, and it seems to be working out.

    If any interaction with spicy autocomplete is treated as equally bad, to the point of aggressive mockery - no kidding people will tune that out. It’s not constructive or sincere. It borders on abusive. How much coverage did this guy just get, where the comments are all ‘well if he’d just done [blank]–,’ and how many people actually believe that [blank] would result in fewer snide comments?

      It’s more like calling automatically sent e-mails “spam”. From the PoV of the [software | e-mail] user saying the word, both [slop | spam] are undesirable, even if the [coder | marketing team] in question is doing it on purpose and with purpose, to further their goals of [pumping out more software | reaching a wider audience].

      For me at least the worst part isn’t using it, but trying to hide it. I don’t think it’s justified, even if some users return snide comments because of it.
