AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
opinion
2 min read
AI;DR, short for “AI; didn’t read,” is being proposed as a label for declining to read unedited AI-generated text. Rick Manelius credits X user seclilc with coining or publicizing the acronym two days earlier and says it responds to growing frustration with “walls” of AI-written content. Manelius supports AI use for tasks such as sourcing ideas, drafting outlines, and refining prose, and says widespread AI use should be expected by the third quarter of 2026. He draws a distinction between AI-assisted work that people review and edit and raw model output forwarded without human intervention. Under his stated policy, he will not read material whose sender has not taken the time to review and edit it. He identifies customer support as a setting where fully AI-generated responses can be appropriate, because users primarily need functional answers rather than carefully crafted dialogue. He argues that unedited AI output in colleague discussions, newsletters, or social-media posts signals a lack of care, particularly when readers could ask an AI system such as Claude directly. AI;DR is framed as an equivalent to TL;DR for rejecting low-effort AI-generated prose.
