For what it's worth, this comment was better than the article...

When you outsource to the slop machine, you don't have anything interesting to say (usually).

The slop machine gives answers to your questions. It hallucinates so it's recommended to verify what it says. Shit in, shit out. If you have no idea whatsoever and can't use other sources to verify claims, well, get a different job I guess.

Why use the slop machine then, if you already know or precognize the answer?

Because you move faster.

Oh, I have *strong* opinions about the slop machine. But I try to temper them so I don't get buried by the usual "pro AI" mob

I will say that my projects have a "leading the pack" anti-AI policy [1]
