@lain Actually fascinating video, even if you dont vibewrite(tm). I really like how he basically highlights the importance of an editing pass and understanding *what* your writing is accomplishing and the target audience is. I find a lot nowdays that writing is taught to write how your teacher/prof wants the piece written, rather than writing in systematic ways that is aware of the goals of the piece and the audience that will read the piece.

I find a lot in writing nowdays that people cobble together a string of words where how much extra big words or superfluous meaning is often the judge of "how good your writing is." Which is quite funny because AI slop as per the video's definition is often how writing classes are taught (in my experience). Often things like word count (slop habit 5), use of vocabulary and adding more variety to word choice (slop habits 4 & 6), and not having excessive "repetition" (habit 1), are usually characteristics in which writing is judged. This is usually driven to the logical extent of dancing around the idea with 150 words rather than describing the whole thing in 15.

Also highlight how much the editing phase SUCKS like youre telling me i have to read my OWN writing AGAIN???
