MLB says Yankees’ new “torpedo bats” are legal and likely coming

Cool but this article is AI slop. It's borderline unreadable, though I guess it looks great to Google.

I caught on when I realized the same sentence was being written for the fifth time.

OP here, and I also hate AI slop so I had a bit of a bad feeling about it at first, but then felt that the payload was more important than the packaging. Submitting ''pure'' content to HN is getting increasingly difficult.

I actually don't think this article is AI slop but instead a text length minimum so Google thinks there's enough content there. Now, I _could_ be an AI wrote it with this rule in mind, but the repetition feels more like the author said what they wanted to say and had to meet a word count quota, so they kept saying the same thing. At least this style of article has existed for many years before AI slop was even possible.
