I made the site to convince my boss to let me not use AI on Fridays. Hoping to get some noise around it to make him believe it's real.

Upvoting for visibility, not because I agree. This is really disingenuous, and quite a bad idea overall.

I’d make a joke about there not being a word for the reverse of plagiarism, except there is one: lying.

Have you read the page? I'm the COE of HTMX. I'm the boss.

Disingenuous? Plagiarism? Care to explain? I dont even understand what you mean by these words in this context.

He was just taking the piss, being both OP and the boss of htmx.

I hope your boss listens! :)

Giving yourself time to be idle and let a problem marinate is often where the breakthroughs and good ideas come from. If taste and human judgment are what separate useful AI output from slop, we need to give our brains time to cook instead of constantly bouncing between agents.
