Perhaps our present age will give rise to a new idiom — calling pigs to slop — meaning publishing a webpage that contains low-quality LLM-generated text, especially one that follows a preset pattern to match other content entries on the website. (By this I refer to the website's owner, not the HN poster.)

This page raises more questions than it answers. Why and how would sucking on an egg teach an orphaned chick how to eat? Alternatively, why would someone eat a raw egg by sucking out its contents?
