The inverse of this is. Don't ask me a question a 9b llm could have answered.
If you are getting blocks of llm text perhaps it's because you don't deserve their input and could have satisfied your query by not making it someone else's problem.
It's the modern era lmgtfy
They did not read AI output, they will not read that page either.
A much better and straight to the point example is https://noslopgrenade.com
Similar in spirit: https://stopsloppypasta.ai/en/, discussed a few months ago [1].
> If you don't have anything to add, it's okay to say so. "No strong opinion here" is a real, helpful reply.
This is really useful, I wish more people would understand this: you don't have to have an opinion on everything. In fact, you probably shouldn't have an opinion on most things.
My own take on the AI issue: https://blog.gpkb.org/posts/just-send-me-the-prompt/
This resonates. Had this in the start of the year with clients sending me their “research”, which, of course, was just a Deep Research result. Lead me to send this article when I work with folks: https://www.marcia.no/words/etiquette
I like to think it helped, but likely what helped was that nobody seems to use Deep Research anymore, haha.
Meh. Ask the agent to be succinct.
Make it a standing rule.
I can really only imagine the social context you would want to use this response in would be inappropriate / anti-social. If you had a well-meaning work colleague send you something AI, sending this back is kind of not a good look. If it's meant to be an education piece we got the memo...
personally i like editing much more than writing (the scare of the white page or how it was called…)
and i detest ai slop
so my solution is to speak combined with an ai cleanup like macwhisper or wispr flow of all the uhs and ahs and repetitions or rephrasings etc
you can even use ai to pretend a conversation or interview style
then i have stuff to edit
boom
Weirdly, this post speaks for everyone.
Did they really just say "genuinely useful" in a post decrying the blind copy-pasting of AI text? (it's a strong Claude indicator)
This site is AI slop.
lmao love it. Although I'm guilty too though
> A short reply from you beats a long one from a model, every time.
Disagreed. Bad writing from a chatbot beats worse writing from its user every time - regardless of length.
One reason we have so much bot slop is the attractiveness of bad-writing bots to the many people whose writing is even worse.

>Someone asked you a real question. You popped it into a chatbot, copied the answer, and sent it back. It felt fast. It felt helpful. And it usually isn't.
OMFG! Even the "don't send AI answers" page text is fucking AI slop.
Can't they be bothered to write 200 words of their own?
coming from a site pasted with ai :)

Okay, boomer.
Bollocks, the other person DOES NOT have the same tools as you. They may, but to assume they do is incorrect.
Don't be a MEAT PROXY
