An AI slop site I encounter a lot when searching is DeepWiki. It scans code and builds "documentation" wiki pages of open source code projects.

It also has a page on @novelwriter. The overarching code structure part is fairly good, and mostly correct but with a few consistently wrong hangups. But the usage section, which is based on my detailed and extensive documentation, is wrong or misleading on a lot of pretty important and basic stuff.

Useless. Just read the docs.

Of course, like all AI slop, it is incredibly verbose and very generic with a low useful info to noise ratio (when it is correct). When I search for info on issues or have technical questions, I have never yet found anything useful there. Even Reddit is more helpful!

I have now blocked it from my search results. I hope users of novelWriter don't rely on it for user documentation.

@veronica I was testing a llm, to see the quality of output code, and my impression is that a quarter or more of the lines could be removed. As the companies rent it it by tokens, it's a very good strategy produce very verbose and obtuse code...

@cochise I've spent a lot of time lately cleaning up AI generated code that is convoluted, fragile, extremely inefficient, and verbose. I've given up on it and will now rewrite the entire feature from scratch.

Time saver my ass.
