I was about to complain at you for jumping to conclusions, but your cited example contains two emdashes and a nested "it's not X it's Y". It certainly looks like slop. In my own writing I'm increasingly conscious of trying to avoid the appearance of slop, I would like to think I would have caught this.

A lot of people don't hate slop, they hate other people's slop. Of course their slop doesn't stink, they prompted it better or something.

3 centiseconds instead of 30 miliseconds, totally not a robot
