> Can I ask what makes it read like slop?

The fact that it's slop. People know it when they read it.

Put Claude and other LLMs away (for coding, writing, everything - block them on your firewall fully) for a few days and then write a blog post from scratch using your own words. No asking for help, comments, editing, nothing. Then compare against this. It'll jump out at you.

Ok, but (and this is the whole point) where _should_ we use LLMs? Because your comment could easily be said to someone writing code.

If slop === LLM involved, that's too reductive. If LLM does all the work, that's also too reductive.

I'm just talking about a few days, so that you see the contrast. You can do that, right?

Giving out homework is ridiculous. Just say you are a slop oracle and be done with it.
