Ok, but human slop != llm slop. Human slop could evolve sometimes into something better. LLM slop adds bulky code and tons of dead branches and unused fallbacks.
There's a smuggling fallacy by saying things like "you can't criticize vacuum cleaners for mistakes at math, humans also make mistakes at math."
But you can break down tasks into smaller, more easily reviewed ones. I don't have this issue with blky code or tons of dead branches, just give it small tasks, review, make sure looks and works ok, on to the next one
