Ideally for who?

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but this seems to be a tool for people who at least have a slight intention of producing something coherent, consistent and generally nice looking. What you're suggesting is to turn this "tool for a human" into a slop producer, so it's able to produce as much content as fast as possible, with as little human input as possible. Couldn't you fork this and implement this "slop factory feature" yourself instead of asking this tool to be re-built from the ground up to cater to this?

I'm just speaking for myself.

I'm starting to really hate the word "slop". It's such a lazy way of discussing AI content generation. I think we can all agree the "slop" produced by AI right now is (if prompted well, curated & edited), of a much higher quality than the average designer was able to produce in reasonable time before AI.

The whole point of technology, since the dawn of mankind, is to reduce the amount of human inputs, so we can focus more on what truly matters. In that sense, AI is fantastic. That doesn't mean you shouldn't just let it rip and turn off all of your own thinking and effort in editing the "slop" it creates. But I'm just getting really tired having to point that out in literally every conversation about AI. Can we just move on already, please.

Of course I could? What's your point? "Shut up and vibe code it yourself"?

I do find it funny how many people on HN consider a product needing a bot layer a necessity as if the producer of the product derives some kind of benefit from allowing anonymous bot traffic to their site or their app; as if bots have some added value as opposed to be nerd parasites on the internet's store of value.
