Your Hand-Typed Slop Isn't Honest. It's Just Slower.

The core argument is that slop is a quality problem, not an authenticity problem, and that hand-typing bad content is not more virtuous than generating it with a model. It is a point worth having in the drawer when the team debate about AI writing policy comes up again. The piece does not break new ground for anyone who has been thinking about this seriously, but it states a clear position clearly, which is more than most opinion content in this space manages. Where it lands short: it does not engage with the structural cases where source matters — technical docs where provenance affects trust, or public-facing content where the audience has reasonable expectations. Worth five minutes if the internal conversation at your company is still stuck on 'but is it authentic'. -> Best for: solo founder or SaaS team of 2-5 drafting an internal AI writing policy
