it took me 11 seconds to realize it was AI slop.

Im getting triggered now, I used AI to help gather the data and the charts, Ill endeavour to use more manual labour with the grammer which Im basically terrible at but thank you for the (you)

People don't really care for imageboard culture here; talking about (You)'s can be a bit alienating.

ok thanks I just thought it would be a funny injoke not alienating but its a good point

I would rather read imperfect human grammar than perfect AI corpospeak. It' s no shade to you, AI produces the most soul crushing prose imaginable. I'd rather read a teenage girl's fanfiction.

AI is a uniformizer - it's suppose to make us more machine like so that we're more replaceable. People use it because there's an economic advantage, and because it provides a dopamine hit, but that's it.

A guy I knew used to write English even though it was a second language. It was charming. Now he uses ChatGPT and it sounds soulless.

I agree. It's so grating. "This isn't an issue—it's an epidemic. Here's the takeaway: attention span is a load-bearing element of cognition. And honestly? This article nails it." (Not actually AI, I just made it up and tried to cram in a bunch of tropes)

People use markers of effort as a proxy to gauge the quality of a resource.

AI prose is low effort, even if your gathering of statistics and making charts was not. So that effort is undermined by the marker of AI prose which leads to an implication the rest of the data could be also, even if that is not actually the case.

People don't like reading articles "redacted" by AI because that feels disrespectful

Imagine approaching someone you wanna talk to and they just silently point to their assistant, suggesting you talk to them instead. I want to hear your thoughts from you, not filtered by some assistant/machine

Im not sure if Im being an idiot but I thought it would be LESS offensive

Oh, by the way, it's grammar, not grammer. ;)
