Ask HN: Is anyone still resisting the slop onslaught?

6•0xDEFACED•2h ago
Even as recently as a month or two ago his site seemed, to me at least, to be one of the final bastions of the public internet without a significant portion of its content being AI generated. Now, it feels like at least half of the articles I click on are full of LLM-isms and otherwise obviously AI generated. In spite of this, the comments are full of enthusiastic agreement or ardent dissent. Out of dozens of comments, none bother to acknowledge the inauthenticity of the content.

Is it finally time to throw in the towel accept the inevitable? Is it enough that the topic of an article or blogpost is interesting, even if the text itself is a pile of tokens?

If you are unaware, HN introduced a new rule because of the slop onslaught (onslopt?)

It will take time for the hype to wind down still. Still a lot of people thinking they can plant a money tree because code is "easy" now, but it was never really the hard part anyway.

No. I keep going because I still care.

I flag all "built $X with AI" posts, and downvote all comments on them.

For some reason "vibe coding" irritates me as does slop.

I've been seeing lots of sites ban AI content, so it's not just you. At the very least, I think there should be a law that requires AI content, videos, etc. to be identified as AI. It's getting really hard to tell what is even real and what isn't now :(
