How to deal with all the low effort AI content online

“I'm seriously at my breaking point with all this AI slop.”source ↗

“My admin decided to 'help' by AI generating posters of all the standards with pictures.”source ↗

“They started to complain how other teachers turn out entirely AI made handouts and use AI presentations. They call it slop.”source ↗

“My students use “AI slop” as an insult. Example: my best trumpet player struggled through a key-signature heavy warm-up at the beginning of this year and said “sorry miss, that was such AI slop” at the end of class.”source ↗

“EVERY graphic at my school is now AI. The kids hate it.”source ↗

“I’ve tried it to make tests for me, or just example problems for algebra, and it’s awful. It won’t even get the topics I enter correct and I have to write the whole thing from scratch anyway.”source ↗

“I tell you that we spent more time pointing out all the factual errors in the slides than we did actually discussing changes to the safety policy. Every single time we did that, he tries to wash his hands of it by going, "I didn't write this. ChatGPT did."”source ↗

“I'm not sure AI checkers are reliable to be honest.”source ↗

“Not at all because i have to edit it so extensively afterwards that it would have been quicker to write it myself”source ↗

“My admin loves AI slop. It drives me nuts.”source ↗

“There are no reliable "AI checkers." They literally just don't work.”source ↗

“Nope. They do not work well at all. Even Turnitin isn't accurate.”source ↗

“We have a teacher at school who primarily uses ai. All his materials are on the same topic but don't quite align like they don't go together and it's really frustrating. You can tell it's low quality.”source ↗

“Overall to me it just shows a laziness and a lack of care for quality work. I have never been happy with what AI turns out I often spend more time fidgeting with prompts and fine-tuning the end product that I do if I just create it myself.”source ↗

“I have been using the checked4ai chrome extension for google docs but the results seem a bit unreliable for the ai checking side.”source ↗

“Other times I end up rewriting half of it and think I probably could’ve just done it myself.”source ↗

“its sad that when I see interesting things like this these days I always have to wonder if its AI”source ↗

“I’m almost positive this is AI”source ↗

“I am so disappointed in myself… this becomes harder and harder to detect if things are AI… the visual appearance of the videos are no clues anymore”source ↗

“You have to watch every tiny details.. so hard !”source ↗

“It's getting worse and there are no direct rules against it.”source ↗

“Seriously though if I could go a day without hearing or reading someone regurgitate some AI nonsense, I’d be a lot happier.”source ↗

“I have a personal policy of going off at anyone who pulls the “here’s what the AI said” when talking with me.”source ↗

“9/20 posts on front page for me is about AI.”source ↗

“And at least half of the rest is *written* by AI.”source ↗

“Most questions arw AI to. Reddit is mainly bots now”source ↗

“It’s so depressing, as someone else mentioned, to read soulless posts all following the same script, finishing with a “for those who have” or an “I’m genuinely curious“.”source ↗

“All for this. Sick to death of opening what looks at first glance to be an interesting thread, only for it to be abject slop that reads identically to the last thousand”source ↗

“I come here to interact with humans, typos and all.”source ↗

“BASED. I'm so fucking tired of ai slop posts”source ↗

“I finally sat down to complete it, and there were some pretty major inaccuracies in the design.”source ↗

“It was obvious to me that the listing picture was AI generated before purchasing, but I stupidly purchased it anyway thinking the pattern itself was not AI.”source ↗

“Meanwhile, a lot f people are flooding Etsy with AI-generated patterns that seem to be made in minutes and listed immediately.”source ↗

“Some of them are selling these patterns for as little as $0.99, which makes it extremely difficult for genuine designers to compete.”source ↗

“I’m also worried that, with so muc low-quality content being uploaded from Pakistan, Etsy could eventually introduce even stricter restrictions for sellers here.”source ↗

“I genuinely enjoy designing crochet and sewing patterns and want to keep doing this long term, but with such low margins and so much mass-produced content, I’m worried about whether it will still be sustainable.”source ↗

“I’m looking for some cute Halloween/Oktoberfest shirts that aren’t ai generated if anyone has recommendations for shops that they like or have used.”source ↗

“I tried searching and there is an overwhelming amount of ai shirts :(”source ↗

“I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed, but nearly every post on Hacker News is getting LLM comments now.”source ↗

“But seeing this infestation, and the rate at which it is growing is very demoralizing.”source ↗

“I've accepted that the "Old Internet", the one in which most content was clearly human generated (for better or for worse) is dead.”source ↗

“More people showed up just to argue, rather than to have curious conversations. More zealots and shills, less thought.”source ↗

“I've been messing around with output styles for a bit to try and reduce the madness that is opus 5's extremely disorganized and verbose output.”source ↗

“I've had to put hard rules into Claude - and I still have to reinforce them - not just CLAUDE.md (make sure not over 40k characters) but hooks that force a read of .md files on startup, etc.”source ↗

“"As a Language Model..." is one of the beginnings of a sentence I hate the most from LLMs and is the reason why I support free (as in "Liberty"), local models.”source ↗

“As someone who is aggressively pro AI, I've also noticed how awful everything is to read lately. It's always so hard to put my finger on the exact thing, but it's a mixture of everything sounding identical and everything being a rambling unconcise mess. I find I routinely start reading interesting posts and just .. stop part way, abandoning it.”source ↗

“I just can't seem to stay interested and read LLM text. It just seems to lack going somewhere, its information density is often really low and its full of odd isms that I don't find very interesting to read.”source ↗

“The voice is one thing, but I have encountered multiple 'tech support' teams and platforms that will respond to me in pure, unedited LLM output.”source ↗

“I currently have a case open with Honda corporate customer support, and I have this suspicion that the email responses I receive are being generated with an LLM directed by a human. Either that, or I'm corresponding with a human who has poor written communication skills. The text grammatically correct, but overly verbose and repetitive.”source ↗

“How do you get through to a colleague who is using ChatGPT to outsource ALL of their thoughts and opinions?”source ↗

“2 days later, we'll get AI slop in our inbox for their assigned action items but it ends up meeting NONE of the criteria discussed in our meetings and ultimately overcomplicates the entire point of what we were trying to do.”source ↗

“I genuinely don't know how to approach this moving forward.”source ↗

“Look at other posts by OP, it’s all vibe coded slop for $400.”source ↗

“people with absolute zero real world experience thinking they have the skillset of a senior, lead, architect and can go for the leadership positions is what's screwing this industry more than anything.”source ↗

“It's still terrible at making interesting content though.”source ↗

“For article writing - still shit for me. What it produces is just soooooo boring to read.”source ↗
