don't feel ready to be written up as a full post
I think the process of writing them up might make them worse (i.e. longer than they need to be)

Have you tried running LLMs on this sophisticated LLM-slop
Yeah, I just started experimenting with this yesterday (originally I put in a footnote in the OP and for some reason removed it).
Yesterday what I tried was making a "Simulated JohnWentworth" review bot, and a "Simulated NeelNanda" review bot. I only tested it so far on ~3 new-user-slop-posts, ~2 new-user-ambiguous-maybe-slop-posts, a couple Best of All Time posts, and some random posts from the last month.
It did okay-ish. (The Wentworth one definitely had Wentworth-esque criticisms of like "you are making up words and thinking you have made progress but you haven't shown me that you can distinguish the symbol from the real thing you're talking about or break it down into gears." But, it applied them kinda indiscriminately in a way I didn't particularly trust)
