How to Avoid AI Code Slop

AI coding tools are accelerating development but creating 'AI slop' - code that looks correct but contains subtle errors, over-engineering, or misaligned logic.

The solution is intent-driven development: formally specify requirements before implementation, then verify AI output against those specs rather than just checking if code 'looks right'.
