At this point it’s naive and perhaps a bit dangerous to assume that any of us can differentiate LLM from non-LLM text. I see less and less recognizable “slop” as time goes on, but I doubt the amount of content being generated has gone down.

especially tech-savvy people, can't possibly trust any communication that has the hallmarks of slop.

And yet, people on HN respond to bots all the time.
