I interviewed a dev building a blog where you comment on individual sentences, as a bet against AI slop

Wait 5 sec.

I run AI News Daily, a mostly automated AI news site. Last week I did my first fully human-written interview, with Sunjae, one of four bootcamp developers building Rilog, a Korean developer blog. A few things from the conversation that I think this sub will find interesting: Comments live on sentences. You select a sentence and leave your thought right there, instead of scrolling to the bottom and explaining which part you mean. The bet is "human touch". Sunjae doesn't think AI slop is bad everywhere, but in personal writing even a little of it makes readers think "it's just AI". The more AI writing floods in, the more people will look for writing that clearly came from a person. They can't reliably detect AI writing, so they judge probabilistically and lean on user feedback. What they actually dislike is unreviewed, mass-produced writing, not AI use itself. Retrospectives beat tech posts. Personal retrospectives got a better response than technical posts, so they are now asking whether to stay developer-only or open up to wider stories. Two questions for you: Would you actually use sentence-level comments on a blog, or do they get noisy? If you run a community, how do you keep AI slop out without punishing people who used AI carefully?
