“Studying “Brain Rot” for LLMs isn’t just a catchy metaphor—it reframes data curation as cognitive hygiene for AI, guiding how we source, filter, and maintain training corpora so deployed systems stay sharp, reliable, and aligned over time.”

An LLM-written line if I’ve ever seen one. Looks like the authors have their own brainrot to contend with.

Im curious where all you top commenters were 5 years ago when grammarly was a product used by most professional writers.

If you weren't as incensed then, it's almost like your outrage and compulsion to post this on every hn thread is completely baseless.

Perhaps because it didn't stick out like a sore thumb? Or because it became so prevalent they observe the exact same tics in every other article they read nowadays?
