AI Summit Attendees Publish 'No AI Slop' Manifesto on Code Quality
Speakers and attendees of the AIE Code Summit 2026 released a manifesto outlining values meant to curb low-effort AI-generated code, documentation and messages, dubbed 'slop.' The document, inspired by the 2001 Agile Manifesto, lists five value pairs such as 'outcomes over output' and 'understanding over speed,' and argues slop occurs when AI output is passed along without taking responsibility for its quality.
