I'm pretty against using AI in my own software but this latest wave of discourse is very 🍿
Calling any LLM assisted development tainted slopware is definitely a take.
I have played around with LLMs in software to help with accessibility (incase I have to stop using a keyboard). It was interesting but I didn't enjoy it, but not because it produced slop.
Slop is purely what you make of it
Jan 9, 2026 10:51Don't get me wrong. Plenty of LLM produced code is slop. And I hate the companies behind the current wave. I'm definitely staying away from depending on them until we get more access to local hosted models. The incestuous nature of current training is also unlikely to end well.
There definitely needs to be an overhaul of the technology and the society, but it's definitely not gonna go away because you make a list of shame.
Social media lowered the bar for misinformation on the internet. LLMs lowered the bar for slop on the internet. But neither inherently cause them
