    None of that ever required AI though? I’m not sure AI would even make it easier, versus just curating the output of certain feeds, filters, plug-ins, scripts or crawlers a bit.

    Questions/accusations about AI-slop aren’t as painfully near-indistinguishible from AI-slop itself as they were getting last time I ranted about it, but still, it seems rude and lazy versus an ask like “where do you find the time, and why bother?”

      Yeah. Been doing this way longer than good enough AI has been around. Since the early days of reddit basically.

      As to why: because its a topic I care about

        Yeah that’s all I was asking about. I constantly see posts from you and it just seems like a lot of work, which is why I asked about AI.

          I almost mentioned “work-flow” en lieu of the list of options I went with earlier, but basically, over time you build-up habits and certain ways of doing things that to you are “that’s just how I do things, why do you ask?”, hard-or-even-near-impossible-to-explain, and look like a lot of work to another person, but add like, (often less than)a minute to your day.

          I was trying to down-play the hassle without diminishing it, but its like learning a new tool or app or form at your job. Maybe noticably-annoying-or-even-painful at first, but once you establish your own “why?”, which you’ll probably forget or remember in-place of the “why?” they told you, you work it out, work it into what you were already doing, and it becomes something like background noise.

          Now, an AI would write you a book on how-what-and-why-it does x, which may or may not in any way resemble what it actually does … I am not sure on my worst day I would actually recommend directly asking about that, versus, “are you an AI?”
