#2>Slop Generator
Using that term through the article makes it hard to take seriously. I know nothing of this project but right off the bat it seems like a project that has little credibility just because of the tone used throughout.
There's no need to turn it into a full-on tirade against this set of technologies either. Is this an appropriate place to complain about Reddit comments?
Ironically, the author could well benefit from running this slop through an llm to make it more professional.

Interesting that you could have posted about any of the points being made in the link but you choose this one.
Personally I think the term is well deserved and am glad it continues to be popularised.

Have you considered that it is not the intent of the author to appear professional? That running it through the Slop Generator would obfuscate their intent to be snarky towards those who outsource all their thinking to Slop Generators?

They have no obligation to sound professional but if they intended to appear incredibly childish then they succeeded, and people will judge them accordingly.

I think for a project like asahi, and frankly any project with a reasonable blast radius, software or otherwise, the article is on point.
The authors lack of professionalism is a reasonable counter to the completely unhinged mainstream takes on ai/llms that we hear daily.
I think the Reddit example provides useful, generally relatable context, otherwise missing to the average reader.
My opinions are not to detract from the use of the tech or engineers working in the space, but motivated by a disgust for the hype.

#7Environmental aspect is listed as one of the reasons which makes me think this is more ideological than practical.

I agree. They have some good reasons on why AI-generated code should not be used in this project, but the page just devolves into a "All AI is bad" and the constant use of "Slop generator" just makes me think of all the people that used to write "Micro$oft" (Well, I did too. When I was twelve)

#9I can agree with all but last point.
There’s no proof nor counter-proof that human brain doesn’t work like that.

It's an impressive one, to say the least. It's worth taking a closer look and weighing the excellence created by the human mind before completely dismissing the article's arguments.

True, that would effectively strip out all the heart and soul from the prose.
