Post Description

Artificial intelligence is an amazing tool for brainstorming, programming, or generating images. But it’s also incredibly good at writing long, meaningless text filled with platitudes or producing code that continuously reinvents the wheel or misses edge cases. This has become known as slop.

My inboxes have been increasingly filled with low-effort slop. I’m sure that this happens to many of you, too. The reddest of flags is being sent slop for work; at first glance, it may look credible, but it falls apart when you actually read the text.

This prompted me to write three principles for working with AI and creating a website to send to your friend or colleague when they send you slop.

Let's stop the slop and get back to doing great work together.
