I wrote about this recently on one of our company's IT channels. I called it "slop-fatigue". I - and others - have started to get noticeably dismissive of content that appears to be written by an LLM. The whole thing was a piece about the ironies of software development in the world of LLMs. This part spoke about how easy it is to generate docs now, but it's also even easier to dismiss it. This contributed to cognitive-debt, because humans didn't write the docs, and other humans tend to dismiss the content. I saw a recent reaction to this on HN as `ai;dr`. That's almost exactly how I feel about it.
