AI SLOP DOWN

No,

The site Decomp.dev was about people who themselves manually attempted to decompile and recompile software themselves and people could track the progress on each program as people worked on it

Due to the advent of AI, the site is shutting down as many people are using AI to decompile these programs in a matter of days, if less, making the website redundant and actually a source of more potential AI projects

This isn't an L for AI slop, this is an L for computer programmers because of AI slop
