I have also seen it used as the indicator for a summary like I have done below. As in the person knows what they wrote was too long for some people so here is a short version too. Similarly I have seen TL;DW to indicate a video summary.
it’s true (honestly what you said is what i’ve seen the most), and i’ve seen it as a way to ask for a summary as well (replying to a long post with “tl;dr?”)
but i don’t really see both of those as relevant to ai;dr tbh, so i didn’t mention them
It’s derived from tl;dr, which is Too Long; Didn’t Read. It’s not instruction telling you to ignore it, it’s an abbreviated way of saying, “I recognize this as AI slop that I’m not going to waste my time reading.”
Lol that’s funny! I totally get it. But could someone explain the abbreviation for those that don’t…
it’s a variant on TL;DR (too long; didn’t read), which people post when what you wrote was too long for them to bother with
so the new one, AI;DR, means “what you posted is ai so i’m not going to bother to read it”

TL;DR - Sometimes it’s used by OP.
Or someone will ask for a tl;dr
Here I thought in OP’s case, they were requesting an ai summary.

This is AI, Don’t Read

That’s what I said. Its a warning to others that it’s AI and to not bother.
