AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
AI;DR (AI; didn't read) is a new policy against unedited AI-generated content.
The author proposes an "AI;DR" policy after growing frustrated with unedited AI output in Slack, newsletters, and social content. While acknowledging AI use is normal by Q3 2026, they argue that if someone won't review and edit AI copy, readers shouldn't bother reading it. The piece distinguishes between acceptable use (customer support) and unacceptable use (colleagues posting raw Claude output in discussions).
What commenters are saying
Commenters largely agree but raise nuances. A top thread proposes that when AI writes from a short prompt, the prompt should be published instead. Others argue AI writing is a skill issue, with good use cases for summarization. Some distinguish TL;DR as often charitable versus AI;DR as hostile. One commenter notes the infinite monkey theorem applies: AI can produce good output but expecting readers to sort through garbage is disrespectful. A split emerges: those who see AI as a tool for the intelligent versus those who see it enabling laziness.
