C.<p>Oh my $DEITY, the "AI" <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/slop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slop</span></a> problem...</p><p>I do <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/hobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hobby</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a>. I ran into a problem that I was having difficulty figuring out from the IC manufacturer's datasheet (which is terse, but does contain several example uses / circuits). It felt like I was missing something fundamental about the way it worked, so I searched the web for 3rd-party documentation, tips, tricks, examples of use, etc.</p><p>And I got pages and pages and pages of results that were nothing but slop.</p><p>Language clearly stolen from the official datasheet and reworded by <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> into not making sense.</p><p>Articles that repeat the same point in multiple sentences in multiple sequential paragraphs.</p><p>Descriptions that refer to numbered components that do not appear on the shown schematic.</p><p>Descriptions of the working of the component that are incredibly obviously incorrect, to the point that anyone who's ever measured the voltage drop across a resistor would say "That can't be right".</p><p>Confident declarations of the function of many of the device's (numerous) control pins, which are not only wrong, but sometimes completely the opposite of reality.

All of us waiting at a loooong light. Nice people. Why were they on the sidewalk? Well, they tried the street ( the label says not to ride on the sidewalk (giggle)). And the drivers terrified them. So, onto the sidewalk. And guess what? They hated the e-scooter experience, would never do it again. (Speaking as one who bicycle commuted through a Chicago winter, I stopped bicycling because of safety concerns/ bad drivers.)</p><p>Think of how much better it would be, if instead of thinking of the sidewalk as a hot new property to squat on, the brilliant tech mind had actively engaged with the city to develop good protected lanes for bikes &amp; scooters? They'd be heroes. And their political clout would have accelerated development of a safe, fast travel network.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/bikelanes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bikelanes</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/micromobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>micromobility</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/VultureCapital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VultureCapital</span></a></p>
