# AI;DR > The new TL;DR: it's AI-generated, so I'm not reading it. - **Author**: Nader Cserny - **Published**: 2026-08-16 - **URL**: https://nader.io/posts/ai-dr --- TL;DR struck through in green, above a huge AI;DR wordmark in white on black with the semicolon set in green. Underneath: "AI, didn't read."

TL;DR used to be an apology. *Too long, didn't read.* The writer wrote too much, so here is the short version, sorry about that. We need a new one. **AI;DR**. *AI, didn't read.* Not too long. Just clearly not written by anyone. The em dashes doing shift work. The three-item lists where two would do. The confident summary of something nobody checked. The paragraph that says "in today's fast-paced landscape" and then says nothing else for four hundred words. The point of TL;DR was that attention is expensive. AI;DR is the same maths, one step further: if nobody spent attention writing it, I am not spending mine reading it. It isn't about the tool. I use the tool. It's about whether a human was in the room when the thing was made. Whether someone read it back once and thought *no, that's not what I meant*. You can feel the difference immediately, which is exactly why the label works. So: AI;DR. Feel free to stick it under anything. ## Take one Made these so you can.
