I support responsible use of A.I I understand the discourse around Slop/Vibe code etc… Personally as long as the slop / vide code does the job securely, reliably and is maintainable does not matter if you hand write the code or use A.I. I prefer to use all the tooling available to me build things.
The problem with using AI to write it is that you are under no pressure to to maintain brevity. Maybe not a bad thing when you need a guide but in this case it just made it harder to read
There is plently of long form content that upvoted on HN. I think the difference is when people feel like it is short form content with padding. AI is good as creating noise, so you have more words without having more to say.
Hence the criticism.
I'm starting to deal with "AI written requirements". They think it is so much better because it has more words, but it's just longer to read without adding anything meaningful. People don't like feeling like they've waisted their time on something that could have been a 140 char tweet.
