AI;DR (AI; Didn’t Read)

AI;DR (AI; Didn’t Read) I’m about as pro-AI as you can be, but this is becoming a pet peeve of mine (and I’m not alone). That’s why I love the AI;DR acronym as my new solution for ignoring the walls of slop. 我是一个坚定的 AI 支持者，但这正逐渐成为我的一块心病（而且我并不孤单）。这就是为什么我喜欢用“AI;DR”这个缩写，作为我无视那些 AI 生成的垃圾内容的新方案。

I’m SUPER jealous that I didn’t think of this first… Alas! Hat tip to seclilc for tweeting this gem out two days ago. 我超级嫉妒自己没能先想到这个词……唉！向两天前发布这条推文的 seclilc 致敬。

I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Why? Because there is growing grumbling among everyone about AI writing. And it’s not just others; it’s me! I am getting to the point where I physically flinch (sometimes dropping my shoulders and hunching, or having a slight eye twitch) when someone I respect sends me unfiltered and unedited AI output. 从那以后我一直在思考这个问题。为什么？因为大家对 AI 写作的抱怨越来越多。这不仅是别人，连我自己也是！现在，每当我尊敬的人发给我未经筛选和编辑的 AI 内容时，我甚至会产生生理上的退缩反应（有时是肩膀下垂、含胸驼背，或者眼角微微抽搐）。

Look, I get it. It’s Q3 2026, and we should expect that everyone is utilizing AI at SOME point in their process (sourcing ideas, creating outlines, refining prose, etc.). 听着，我明白。现在是 2026 年第三季度，我们应该预料到每个人在工作流程的某个环节（寻找灵感、创建大纲、润色文案等）都在使用 AI。

However, I have a new policy. If you’re not bothered enough to review and edit it… then I’m not going to bother reading it. 然而，我制定了一项新政策：如果你懒得去审阅和编辑它……那我也懒得去读它。

Yes, there are certain situations in which we should expect 100% AI-generated copy. Customer support would be a perfect example. We’re not looking for artisanal “did you make sure to reset your phone” style dialogue. 当然，在某些情况下，我们确实期望看到 100% 由 AI 生成的内容。客户支持就是一个完美的例子。我们并不需要那种手工打造的、“你确定重启手机了吗”式的对话。

But if you’re my colleague and we’re in a Slack discussion and you post a wall of Claude output, then I’m afraid I received a different message than you intended. 但如果你是我的同事，我们在 Slack 上讨论时，你直接甩出一大段 Claude 生成的内容，那么恐怕我接收到的信息和你预想的完全不同。

The same is true for people’s newsletters and social content. It’s your name on it; are you proud of the prose and weird AI-isms sprinkled throughout it? If so, great. But I can ask Claude directly if I wanted to. 对于个人通讯稿和社交媒体内容也是如此。上面署的是你的名字；你真的为你文中那些散布的、奇怪的 AI 腔调感到自豪吗？如果是，那很好。但如果我想看 AI 写的东西，我可以直接去问 Claude。

TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) was the solution for social media. AI;DR (AI; didn’t read) is the solution for AI slop. TL;DR（太长不看）是社交媒体时代的解决方案。AI;DR（AI 生成，不看）则是应对 AI 垃圾内容的解决方案。

May you embrace this policy yourself and seek out those willing to care enough to prioritize a human touch when they talk to you. 愿你也能采纳这一政策，并去寻找那些愿意花心思、在与你交流时坚持保留人文关怀的人。
