    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”

        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.

        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.

          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.”
