Peter Bell · The Executive Summary, a Gather publication

It’s not AI slop.

It might be slop, it might not be slop. The question isn’t whether it was written by a carbon or silicon based intelligence or what combination was used to generate it. The question is “is it slop”.

If it’s slop, blame the human who shipped it. I don’t care whether they’re a poor thinker, a bad writer, or a prompter without taste - it’s slop and it’s their fault.

If it isn’t slop, why would you care the process by which valuable content was generated? If you need to carve it on a tablet, write it on papyrus, inconvenience a few electronics by sending an email or leverage an LLM to create it, I don’t care.

I don’t think it matters how things are created. I think it matters how good they are.

P.S. Lots of great articles on the way. Been heads down with events in SF and NY, a new series of coaching and consulting offerings dropping next week for engineering leaders looking to scale AI adoption in engineering, and a plan for a community in a world where human communications will soon be intermediated by agents. Look for some drops at the weekend!
