Written by humans
There's few things more annoying than reading an article or blog post you're interested in, and after a paragraph or two, realizing that a clanker wrote it all.
Maybe a day will come when the clankers will be good enough to write proper prose. Write something that makes you cry, laugh, doubt, think; something that makes you feel a human connection. But it is not this day. As of this writing (a random Wednesday in November 2026), clankers produce slop. And we don't like slop. We don't like reading it, and we don't want to pollute cyberspace with it. The slopocalypse is bad enough already as-is.
So here's our commitment: everything that has the 100% human slop badge on it is written by humans, entirely, from start to finish. For a more comprehensive read on the matter we'd like to point you to Oxide's RFD 576, which is a great take, and we largely agree with their assessment. In short: LLMs are great at many things, but they aren't that great at writing (yet). So, for the time being, we want to stick with 100% organic, freshly sourced, human-made slop.
Out of respect for our readers.
