I just assume AI videos will follow suit and declare themselves “no AI” pretty soon.

Or for laughs.

And their divs.

Hah. How about this: trap 1,000 regular web developers in a room. First one to use a proper semantic element instead of a div wins $1 million.

The one I like is “we have no fucking idea what we’re trying to build other than a vague problem statement, so start testing already. This is Agile.”

Tell them to get their shit together and support open-source browsers, or more accurately just browser standards in general.

Perhaps you should have complained about human slop. Allowing such massive rubbish into the ecosystem has laid the groundwork for automation.

Nothing in my comment justified or promoted AI at all.

Learn to read.

Not wha I said at all, but ok.

I’m pretty sure the people complaining loudest about AI slop are the ones who have been producing human slop for years.

Training AI models on AI content is the fastest route to model collapse.

Even more fun fact, if you never clicked the “enable” button on Copilot, most of those settings are locked to “enabled” anyway.

Nah, guarantee the models have rules built in to deal with obvious stuff like that.

You need to be more subtle. Give them information that is slightly wrong.

The very concept of “parents’ rights” implies that children are some kind of property.

Children have rights. Parents have responsibilities.

Gotta love a good strawman.

Everyone keeps forgetting the stolen election in 2000.

It’s my opinion that the modern web is massively enshittified, and was so long before that term came into play.

Too much focus on flashy (and often obstructive) presentation, constant reinvention of the wheel, and no regard for the actual information being delivered.

I mean, you mention “semantic markup” to your average web developer and they just stare at you blankly. They’re like the seagulls from Finding Nemo: DIV? DIV! DIV!

Useful information structures? Meaningful metadata? Consistent patterns? Forget about it.

HTML and JavaScript are part of the problem. They provide too much freedom and not nearly enough structure or guidance.

And even if you put all that aside, JavaScript is an abomination that is entirely unsuited to the purpose it’s being used for. Ask any JS developer. Or look at how many ridiculous frameworks have been slapped over the top of it in a vain attempt to address its inadequacies.
