alt Hacker NewsDo you think the original comment posted by quapster was "slop" equivalent to a copy-paste spam bot?
The only spam I see in this chain is the flagged post by electric_muse.
It's actually kind of ironic you bring up copy-paste spam bots. Because people fucking love to copy-paste "ai slop" on every comment and article that uses any punctuation rarer than a period.

Yes: the original comment is unequivocally slop that genuinely gives me a headache to read.
It's not just "using any punctuation rarer than a period": it's the overuse and misuse of punctuation that serves as a tell.
Humans don't needlessly use a colon in every single sentence they write: abusing punctuation like this is actually really fucking irritating.
Of course, it goes beyond the punctuation: there is zero substance to the actual output, either.

This stupid pattern of LLMs listing off jargon like they're buzzwords does not add to the conversation. Perhaps the usage of jargon lulls people into a false sense of believing that what is being said is deeply meaningful and intelligent. It is not. It is rot for your brain.
