Now that people know what ai slop is, they start having higher expectations from prose because vacuous articles like these might be misconstrued as slop

It's a shame you feel that way as articles like this were extremely common 30 years ago in the Saturday and Sunday papers. And I do miss them.

I wonder if it's a generational thing, where now every essay must focus on one idea instead of taking a meandering path of curiosity to the author's final point.
