Analyzing the LLM Slop Trend in Submissions
NeelNanda5 · x · 2026-07-15
The author mentions having organized 3 mech interp workshops, inadvertently accumulating a dataset of submissions perfect for analyzing the upward trend of "LLM slop".
@andyarditi's analysis focuses on:
- The actual volume of AI slop accepted
- How this situation has evolved since 2024
- Whether the review process is genuinely "all noise"
The author emphasizes that this is a post-hoc analysis and that Pangram was not used when making their decisions.
