Call me a snowflake, but I propose that those of us who don't believe that AI is actually intelligence look for a term to refer to its "thinking" that isn't "intelligence", because this helps our weak minds keep things straight.

subligence /sʌbˈlɪdʒəns/ n.

A lesser or rudimentary form of intelligence; the capacity to respond, select, or adapt without full understanding. The semblance of mind in animals, machines, systems, or inanimate things. Discernment beneath reason; inferior intelligence.

Example: "Since December, the coding models have gotten noticeably more subligent, so much so that the undiscerning eye has trouble distinguishing their output from human intelligence."

Reddit has been filling up with AI generated content. Either bots engaging with naïf audiences who don't realize they're bots, or supposed humans who defend their giant copy/pastes as somehow justifiable as a spellchecked/proofread version.

I don't believe AI generated slop posts deserve consideration, either on HN or Reddit. If people rather not take the time to write something as long as these AI outputs, they're free to write a prompt-length post instead of forcing us to read the AI equivalent of a zipbomb. We can't control what people post on Reddit but I think we should have higher standards here and that Reddit has gone to the point that only very very selective submissions from there should be accepted.

On a tangent, does anyone know of a browser extension I can use to easily hide or at least highlight in red likely AI generated text?

Hi all. This is my first attempt at a professional PaaS application. Let me know what you think, it took me a couple of months to develop!
