I pretty much never downzap. I don't particularly care if someone uses AI to write.

What is frustrating is to read something that feels like thought was put in to it, but ends up being opaque or confusing and genuinely pointless. With a human-written post, you can usually feel confident that there was a point -- even if silly. But with AI, it may just be words strung together. Humans don't do things for no reason. AI may do things for no reason other than statistical likelihood.

Perhaps the end state of AI slop is kind of like pop-psychology or pop-spirituality: a bunch of nice words that sound good together but nobody has ever tried to live by. In that case, large chunks of the internet are already like this.
