Veronica Olsen 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇴🌻<p>I'm not sure how it is for other topics, but when it comes to programming topics, I keep finding more and more AI slop on "developer" blogs. It's getting to the point where finding helpful content is more and more difficult. I guess because the people who don't actually care about knowledge can spew slop at a much higher rate than people who produce quality content.</p><p>Dev blogs used to be a decent supplement to library docs. Not really any more. 😒 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Slop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Slop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blog</span></a></p>
