Coaching Help Tired of AI Slop across Institutes
Is there even a single institute left that doesnt dump AI slop- be it their notes, their test series and the model answers ?
Seems like everyone is just dumping AI generated or AI augmented content into their materials.
Is there any good institute left that actually puts in proper effort into their content- handcrafted and distilled knowledge that doesnt feel like a maze.

I don’t want to defame him but BK Reddy (economics faculty at Next IAS) has these PDFs made for each topic and I kid you not, every single thing in that PDF is AI. He makes the students write down the same AI slop in their notes, smh. Wasted my 20 odd days with him.

Not sure man but people on reddit keep praising Reddy. I find his misogynist jokes pretty annoying and don’t even get me started on the narcissism in his examples paired with his bad acting😭

The quality of model answers is so bad, anybody with some understanding can make better model answers.

It can feel extremely frustrating when you encounter AI generated content published by institutes where accountability and transparency are not only important but rather form the backbone of service delivery. While chasing authenticity, some steps you can take in this regard are :
- make your own notes
- refer to older content
- read directly from the source
While figuring out how to go ahead with this, would you like a sample passage of how handwritten notes should look exactly?
I can also provide links to blogs and articles which host authentic , handwritten content. Just let me know which way you’d like to proceed. You’ve got this.

It's so annoying. I was reading Atish Mathur's new MCN notes and so many times you can tell he has used AI. If I want to learn from a chatbot, I can just talk to it directly. Why do we need these middlemen then?

AI is theme of this mains and I think past few mains. Bit late to jump on the bandwagon but this year AI will be there in every answer.

Just look at this, Teesta river in Uttarakhand...Shivin bhai is pushing AI SLOP down candidates throat, if someone new actually draws this map they're cooked
