If only there were a gallant gentleman always at hand to drape their coat over these muddy obstacles so you could avoid ruining your day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">It\u2019s not quite on that level, but some netizens are proposing a new term to call out AI slop so other people can avoid wasting their time \u2014 or to just make fun of the person peddling it: \u201cAI;DR,\u201d or \u201cai;dr,\u201d short for \u201cAI, didn\u2019t read.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">This is of course a riff on the classic internet slang \u201cTL;DR\u201d \u2014 \u201ctoo long; didn\u2019t read\u201d \u2014 which is used to both introduce a summary of a lengthy block of text or proclaim that it\u2019s being ignored for its lengthiness. Now, the latter usage is being repurposed against AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">We\u2019re not ready to christen AI;DR a word of the year yet, but it does appear to be gaining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/NonPoliticalTwitter\/comments\/1r2fdsi\/aidr\/\">moderate traction online<\/a>, after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@dave_minnigerode\/post\/DUl_pzkEvKu\">recent post<\/a> on Threads drew attention to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">\u201cWe all need to adopt that right quick,\u201d one user on Bluesky said of the phrase, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/katemckean.bsky.social\/post\/3memb4hybpk2u\">in a semi-viral post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">The term has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/NonPoliticalTwitter\/comments\/1r2fdsi\/aidr\/\">been used in the past<\/a>, but never took off. Anti-AI sentiment, however, is higher than ever. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/wordplay\/word-of-the-year\">actual word of the year<\/a> for 2025, as crowned by Merriam-Webster, was \u201cslop,\u201d a testament to just how much AI backlash has escalated in a pretty short amount of time, even as seemingly the entire economy doubles down on pouring money into the tech.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">A programmer who goes by Sid enthused about the new slang.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">\u201cFor me, writing is the most direct window into how someone thinks, perceives, and groks the world,\u201d Sid wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.0xsid.com\/blog\/aidr\">blog post<\/a>. \u201cOnce you outsource that to an LLM, I\u2019m not sure what we\u2019re even doing here. Why should I bother to read something someone else couldn\u2019t be bothered to write?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Taking a \u201cglass half full\u201d outlook, it\u2019s grim that this is a necessary measure in the first place. On the flip side, at least more of us are choosing not just to ignore slop, but to bully the people spreading it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">TL;DR: AI;DR calls out AI slop and warns other humans not to bother.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\"><strong>More on AI:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/artificial-intelligence\/openai-gpt-4o-clone\"><em>As OpenAI Pulls Down the Controversial GPT-4o, Someone Has Already Created a Clone<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/artificial-intelligence\/aidr-meaning\">There\u2019s a Grim New Expression: \u201cAI;DR\u201d<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/\">Futurism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The internet is so overrun with AI that anywhere you go, you run the risk of accidentally stepping into a puddle of slop.
