At least some of it (not all of it) will leak from devs pain to users pain... Untidy unaesthetic unreviewed code will sooner or later introduce inconsistencies, poor performance, and bugs, and as you get more of it, the harder it is to clean up properly and get things under control.
You have no idea, to slop-circle is getting more common.
In 2025, sometimes I decided to put a slop LinkedIn post to ChatGPT (back then) to deslopify.
Now, the slop circle is everywhere.
Your PO uses automations to create tasks? Half of the comments are bot slop? Links to documents never edited or read by another human? A lazy three sentence description of a task requirement you would have gotten previously sounds like a dream. Now everything generates pages long texts and you can't possibly go through the slop without AI agents. You need your agents comb through the slop and demystify the task for you.
Same with the other end... Slop PRs will be reviewed by your agents, hoping you catch 2-3 issues so that you can pretend you did a review. The author didn't do a review on their generated slop, but sure, let's pretend reviewers still review code.
the only thing that point into you being in a bubble is thinking that credibility matters? In the end, companies will buy the best models for their use case based on capabilities, price, ease of access, etc, they will sign up with some providers and coders will just use whatever their employees give them 95% of the case.
I don’t think they need the hardware to become affordable (as a regular end user).
They need their models to be good enough and cheap enough. Then the rest will follow. Companies will figure out how to host them for you efficiently, and you pay them monthly.
I don’t think I will ever want to set up a home server, no matter how inexpensive the hardware gets. At work I still use Cursor (with Anthropic models usually) because it’s paid by my employer, but for private stuff, I’m already using cheap models with OpenCode, and it’s extremely cheap and surprisingly capable.
I think there was around half a year between where the best models became good enough (last year December?) and where the cheap models became good enough (couple of months ago?).
I might be missing something but what’s the real story of the 20%.
To me it sounds like 1. Either your tool is just not that good and reliable as you thought, 2. AI is trained on human written articles, so some of that human written content informed the now established “AI slop”.
Am I the only one who thinks this landing page is garbage? Funkily it feels like a long wall of slop. I guess you shouldn’t get high on your own supply.
You don’t need time limit, you just need to deal with the company frequently enough for this to work.
How I would imagine this work if there was will (I don’t think there is)… there are online grocery delivery services that do this already, it’s not that complicated.
You get your stuff delivered in a reusable bag. They charge you 1 dollar for the bag. Next time you have something delivered, you give the bags back and you’ll get your money back.
Or, the kind of people who bought iPhones in 2008 were a different subset of the population than those who didn’t and as such they have different opinions and preferences when it comes to family and kids?
With that said, I can also see that infinite entertainment and infinite information makes you deprioritize having children.
But it’s far from proof, this study. It’s more like “I found some numbers that support my already existing opinion, so let’s run with that”.
Jokes aside, I guess population density is just not the main factor in internet. It’s competition, it’s regulation, it’s corruption, and pop density is simply not a deciding factor.
