Ironically this page seems to be entirely made of slop, the whole text reeks of claudisms, as opposed to https://noslopgrenade.com/

What really seals it is the 'angry' version, which is just the same message again but with different formatting. No human would label that as "the angry version" without the inclusion of at least one "fucking".

Just mindlessly sending back this URL to someone that sent you a bunch of AI slop is the same thing they are complaining about, making your "brain a gizmo".

I like the angry version best but it might cause some conflict at work if I told the head of sales to not reproduce haha

If a piece of the model's answer is genuinely useful, quote it and say why. "I checked with Claude and this part lines up:" works great.

It still drives me nuts when my boss does that. Especially since the next thing he sends is a bunch of AI-generated code he just wants us to copy and paste into our application. He treats anything the magic AI says as authoritative, and it overrides anything an actual person can say to him.
