Site Scans 2.6B of Code to Measure AI Cognitive Debt
A new website called Slop Code Monitor says it scanned 2.6B of code to measure what it calls AI cognitive debt. The idea is to see how much extra mental work AI-written code may leave for developers later. The post was shared on Hacker News, a tech community forum, and had only one point and no comments when it was listed, so the findings are not yet widely discussed.
