Don’t consider this a challenge to your decision, I just want to have some guidance on this. So please bare with me. 1. English is my second language, and I use LLM’s extensively to clean up the mess I create when I write any English sentence or paragraph. I usually reiterate every sentence, paragraphs, sections many times using LLM’s. In the LLM writing policy it says that “first-time writers are not permitted to use any AI text output in their submissions”, should this be taken literally, that no matter what and how that output was created? 2. Style. I like snappy one-liners and “bold” straight to the point language. That is something I aim for. I want it to read like a tweet or ad-copy (in the best sense). Is this frown upon and taken as slop? 3. Referencing. I have a feeling that the referencing is seen as overbearing and part of the “problem”. This is a forecast and I do not like to make claims without backing it up with references. For that reason I have a lot of references for this short piece. If the referencing style is an issue please provide some guidance on that? 4. A direct question on the content. Is there anything in my post that is factually untrue or something that is believed to be a hallucination, which then disqualified it as SLOP? Yes, the post IS speculative, which is the whole purpose, which I also mention in the beginning. But I have seen this trend and wanted to make a “solid” case for it (which I guess didn’t really go as planned...), so to the best of my knowledge I have checked every reference multiple times.
