Paige Bailey says shifting reading burden onto users is bad design

Paige Bailey, a Google DeepMind engineer who posts as @DynamicWebPaige on X, says that making a reader or reviewer spend more effort parsing content than its author spent creating it is poor user experience.

In a November 4, 2026 post, she writes that building something in 2 minutes that costs a reader 20 minutes to parse is textbook-bad design. She cites a definition of AI slop from @yaroslavvb: content that takes less human effort to produce than to consume.
