>Someone asked you a real question. You popped it into a chatbot, copied the answer, and sent it back. It felt fast. It felt helpful. And it usually isn't.
OMFG! Even the "don't send AI answers" page text is fucking AI slop.
Can't they be bothered to write 200 words of their own?

might be the case, but as soon as you have read and agree with it, that doesn't make it any kind of "ai slop" :) Is it relevant or helpful? Can I verify it? Are main questions IMO.

Whether you agree with it or not has no effect on whether it's AI slop or not. Outside of math or coding, domains in which there is objective determinism, any AI outputs are slop to the extent they purport to represent the AI's subjective opinion about something. So, an AI proving that 2+2=4 is not AI slop because it's just a formal proof, whereas an AI writing a missive about how 4 is its favourite number would be slop whether you think it has good points/agree/disagree with it or not.
The fact that a site purporting to roast AI slop is itself AI slop is surely somebody taking the piss, and the fact that it has 700 upvotes and is the top story here means that people either simply don't read shit they upvote, or the brainrot is already fully established on HN.

I disagree strongly. Nearly every time this comes up it seems people are not doing a good job giving their AI context. My AI environment is REALLY context aware based on a whole bunch of things I have access to that others don't. When my AI respond to a question it is full of information the person asking the question just didn't have access to. You can also train your AI not to give a wall of text but to give very concise answers. This whole web page stinks of being a total skill issue with using AI. I much prefer AI answers to my questions ( most of the time the answer is going straight into my AI, so I don't really care if an AI generated the response, I'd probably trust it more.). This is all about you build your projects, the documentation you build, how that is shared, it means many questions don't need to be asked because everyone has access to good context whether its built things, things coming up, ideation, market research, product research, or whatever stage you are at. Build pathways for context to move around and go through stages. Not only that, my guess is everyone is mostly reading AI responses to things ALL the time anyways, what difference does it make if you get to ask a question and get a response from another AI with a different context? None. Avoid these kinds of sites as they lead people astray. Much like the advice "Share the prompt, not the response" ... absolutely ridiculous, different context means you get different responses with the same prompt. If you want to pursue something that's actually useful, think about context engineering such that questions largely don't need to be asked.
