AI;DR (AI; Didn’t Read)

I’m SUPER jealous that I didn’t think of this first...Alas! Hat tip to seclilc for tweeting this gem out two days ago.lil c@seclilcAI;DR (AI; didn’t read)4:13 PM · Aug 15, 2026 · 346K Views83 Replies · 2.09K Reposts · 16.6K LikesI’ve been thinking about it ever since. Why? Because there is growing grumbling among everyone about AI writing. And it’s not just others; it’s me! I am getting to the point where I physically flinch (sometimes dropping my shoulders and hunching, or having a slight eye twitch) when someone I respect sends me unfiltered and unedited AI output.Look, I get it. It’s Q3 2026, and we should expect that everyone is utilizing AI at SOME point in their process (sourcing ideas, creating outlines, refining prose, etc.).However, I have a new policy.If you’re not bothered enough to review and edit it......then I’m not going to bother reading it.Yes, there are certain situations in which we should expect 100% AI-generated copy. Customer support would be a perfect example. We’re not looking for artisanal “did you make sure to reset your phone” style dialogue.But if you’re my colleague and we’re in a Slack discussion and you post a wall of Claude output, then I’m afraid I received a different message than you intended.The same is true for people’s newsletters and social content. It’s your name on it; are you proud of the prose and weird AI-isms sprinkled throughout it? If so, great. But I can ask Claude directly if I wanted to.TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) was the solution for social media.AI;DR (AI; didn’t read) is the solution for AI slop.May you embrace this policy yourself and seek out those willing to care enough to prioritize a human touch when they talk to you.No posts
