Pasting raw, unreviewed LLM output into conversations—dubbed 'sloppypasta'—is a growing etiquette problem. It shifts the burden of reading, verifying, and distilling AI-generated text onto recipients who didn't ask for it, erodes trust, and disrupts ongoing discussions with generic, context-free content. Four archetypes are identified: the Eager Beaver, the OrAIcle, the Ghostwriter, and competitive-research dumps. Practical guidelines are offered: always read and verify AI output before sharing, distill it to what's relevant, disclose AI involvement, only share when requested, and prefer links over inline pastes to preserve conversational flow.
