Dear "slop code is fine but 'ai' art and writing is terrible" people, with all sincerity, go fuck yourselves. Slop is slop and it is indefensible garbage no matter what it's used for. "Slop is fine so long as it's not the slop for the thing *I* care about" is some impressive bullshit.

@swetland@chaos.social I kind of feel like the issue is that there are some people in tech who've always looked for an excuse to be elitist, and who've just ported that elitism over from "you're not a real programmer if you use arduino" for the purpose of getting to be elitist, rather than trying to make a correct point; and I'm starting to see "stop using AI, this is obviously slop code" applied to code that was written by e.g. students by hand.

@swetland@chaos.social no, they're all reasonable.
