Author here. Everything is written by me, by hand. What makes you think it's AI slop?

I see you edited your comment. Yes, we use LLMs to monitor news --- otherwise we wouldn't be able to read Japanese news sites or policy documents. However, the articles and analysis are written "manually". I take this very seriously --- the only "AI" is spelling + grammar checking.



For starters, you don't have domain experience in the space. Secondly, you are sourcing from your harness.

And you do NOT have a background or domain experience working on (eg. In this case) Japanese economic and monetary policy.

Grammar and writing is the least impactful aspect - use AI for that, it doesn't matter. But using it to synthesize and then make judgements isn't valuable.

What you are doing is BY COLLOQUIAL DEFINTION AI Slop.


I see. Well, feel free to disagree with my insights and ideas; it makes us all better for it.

But refrain from unfounded allegations of AI slop or incompetence. Gatekeeping is even worse.

EDIT: you keep editing your comments. I'm going to stop engaging with you since one can't even have a linear discussion. Good luck with your research and ideas. If you are an expert on Japan, I encourage you to share your views in the general comments here.


lol a website about "Create your own event-powered feeds, newsletters, & risk maps about topics that matter to your business, big or small" that decided to blog about Japan
