What commenters say

• Some commenters agree that AI-generated content can be overwhelming and lacks the nuance of human-written text, making it not worth reading.
• Others argue that the problem lies not with AI itself, but with the lack of effort put into reviewing and editing AI-generated content.
• A few commenters suggest that providing the original prompt and explaining why the AI-generated output is relevant can help mitigate the issue of AI slop.
• There is disagreement on whether the proposed AI;DR approach is a useful solution, with some seeing it as a necessary filter and others as an overly hostile response.
• Some argue that the use of AI to summarize content can be beneficial, but it should not replace human reading and understanding.
• Others propose alternative solutions, such as a 'view prompt' feature, to help readers navigate AI-generated content.
• A few commenters note that the issue of AI-generated content is not new and that similar problems existed with human-written content, such as the need for editors and copywriters.
