Now - when I use define AI slop is all there is. It really annoys me because define used to be great. Before - I think the only source used was a great Oxford dictionary that was behind a paywall.

And it's a nice touch that you have to click "show more" to get that AI slop warning.

I think the issue is more that it's synthesizing it's own definition instead of giving you an official one. It links to it, but there's quite a bit of noise added in.

I just fed it a super specific issue and it just bailed and showed me my own post about the issue instead.
