I once got into an argument with someone about how AI PRs are terrible and overwhelm FOSS projects which are already notoriously understaffed and burned out. Eventually I just started having Claude generate the most verbose responses it could, prefaced with "to make my point, from now on to continue this argument you'll need to read a mountain of AI slop I probably didn't read myself, and all I have to do is copy and paste into Claude and hit generate"
Wait... were you arguing for or against AI slop?
They weren't getting the point so I forced them to understand
He used the slop to destroy the slop.
