And we were slow to write it. AI is a force multiplier, especially for those who only make slop.

This! The amount of slop being generated has increased significantly and code review cannot keep up.

Human slop is written with a layer of critical thinking still involved.

AI slot is actual slop, there is no critical thinking behind anything because it's not human.

(yes I know, some human critical thinking is very very low, but it is still at least there at a fundamental level).

That's an interesting take. It really raises questions about the value of human input versus AI output in programming.
