> respecting the reader

When people say LLM slop is disrespecting the reader, I don't think they are complaining about style.

They are, and I am. While I don't use the words "LLM slop", I do have the urge to instantly stop reading any piece of writing that was obviously default Claude output with no effort to make it sound even remotely human written.

I'd rather read natural sounding, non-repetitive, and actually useful LLM text than the majority of reddit comments (including the serious ones) for instance.

That's where the annotation in plannotator helps.

I'm asking to scan projects on gitlab, go through some docs to find more grounding material, write a subarticle (in the same style), scan logs on the test env, issue some curls, etc.; until the whole article is digestible - in the "backing knowledge graph" department.

that's precisely the objection most people have whether they realize it or not.

slop just means "I don't like this style"

when AI writes more reliably in a way that people do like, they will stop calling everything AI does slop.
