Good, because the slop era is over. LLMs can now deliver software of consistently better quality than humans can, much faster, and are more thorough in hunting down bugs and considering corner cases to boot.


I'd argue that the main thing producing slop is the human-with-ai cyborg. While the ai is maybe better at writing code, the range of humans prompting it has gotten stupider. So now we have projects like a bloodborne PC '''port''' which is absolutely slop and just packaging the emulator because someone told an ai to make native decompiled bloodborne.


soooooo….the problem is the human then and not the AI part


Well yeah. Slop only enters the trough when a human pulls the lever.
