I just came up with a slightly casual thesis about Bitcoin privacy and for fun threw it at Kimi 2.6 (2.6 mind you! not even a latest model!) and said "develop this thesis however you see fit". It came back to me with a full essay that honestly is a pleasure to read (at least for me...), *at least in* how beautifully it was written combined with a set of metaphors and comparisons that were really quite original. Sure, I know, AI writing is "slop": you can recognize it and it's pretty annoying when people resort to it to achieve a goal (it feels both fake and lazy, often), but I hadn't recently just asked it to write free form: it's *probably* recognizably AI (just about), but who cares if it's *actually better than almost all writing I've seen recently about <bitcoin, or whatever you care about>!*

Bigotry much? When it comes to "writing" what writes it isn't a guarantee, a human won't guarantee not slop, an LLM won't guarantee slop.
I don't care how it arises, it's what good it does me and that includes considerations of others, that matters.
All of this, "detect AI, know it's slop" simpletonism is depressing.
Find and replace em dashes and it will pass most people
Kimi's AI regurgitation is no substitute for human critical thinking, a luxury lost on Bitcoin enthusiasts beholden to MIT and Blockstream's narratives.
