It’s fine to dislike AI slop and not engage with it. But I would claim there is a difference between a human submitting a sloppy paper to a journal vs producing one with AI. The former is lazy and unprofessional, the latter is an interesting experiment. I appreciate not wanting to engage in an experiment you didn’t sign up for, but therein lies the difference between this with an attitude of embracing new technology and those wanting to stick to the old. I think Terrence Tao has had a very interesting attitude to AI recently and had also had some fruitful outcomes from it.

So we should hold LLM slop to a LOWER standard than humans? Great...

And as we all know, if something is new technology it must necessarily be good. Don't stop to think, just run in the rat race!
