Drives me nuts that comments are held to a higher standard than submissions.
replyHN is for conversation between humans[1] (about AI generated blogspam, apparently)
Don’t stop commenting about it, if there is something we (the readers) can do is ensure it is seen as uncool to post slop content
replyfine but please realize that also just pushes people away from caring about the comment section at all, too.
replyI can only read so many (either pro OR against) ".. IT'S AI! ! !" comments before skipping the thread. I can't be the only one.
LinkedIn (of all places!) announced a button for flagging this recently: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hsrinivasan1_ai-slop-is-a-top...
replyHow well it would work on this site, I'm not sure.
If it works, it’s going to be the best feature introduced by a social network in a long time. Incredible that it comes from LinkedIn.
replyNext up, LinkedIn starts using this feedback to train a classifier. They then announce an officially approved "not slop" classification only for LinkedIn Gold member posts. The classified posts have a wider reach due to everyone filtering out AI slop. Non-members automatically get bucketed in with the slop bc they don't pay to have the verified classifier run on them.
replyseems like at that point it'd be a bigger benefit for LinkedIn to provide the one and only model trained to subvert the human capability to detect slop using that new negative corpus.
replythen we're all screwed I guess. lol
Better would have been to offer a button to flag something that does NOT seem like AI slop on LinkedIn.
replyIf there is an action on AI slop on LI, it will end up with almost no posts at all
