I get incredibly stressed out every time you call my writing "AI slop." And when my carefully crafted articles get flagged, it hurts even more. I'm not a native English speaker—you're right about that. When I write my articles, I rewrite and revise them over and over, agonizing over every detail. I can't pretend I don't use tools like Grammarly and AI writing assistants in that process. But I write these articles based on what I've actually experienced, staking my entire career on them. Maybe it looks like garbage (slop) to you. But for me, each piece represents a tremendous amount of thought and effort. You said I didn't major in accounting, but I actually have substantial knowledge in accounting and hold an MBA degree. I've also worked in the IT industry for over 10 years. Lately, every time I post something I've written on HN, I hear "AI slop," and honestly, it's been devastating.As this year comes to a close, I really needed to share this.
