alt Hacker NewsI vote for Slop Kiddies or Vibe Kiddies. And yes, I think most of them are unconsciously incompetent for the task they are trying to execute. I've seen LLM being compared to calculators and I agree. They are great time savers for people who know what they do and how to achieve their goal. They even make previously impossible tasks possible. But if you don't know what is needed for a task you will be struggling to accomplish it.

Slop Jockeys? or would that be better for people passing off AI content as their own?

"Slop Kiddies" is good. That lets us use the "skiddies" contraction for both the "script" and "slop" kind of kiddie.

Both of those would do. "Slop Kiddie" highlights the pile of crap / nuisance produced. "Vibe Kiddie" highlights how it came about, and could be used in cases where actually a brilliant result came out. "Hey, this vibe kiddie just proved some long-standing math conjecture!".
