@bitinn Techbro bullshit is always in the future.
The very near future, but still so far away that they don't have anything to show just yet.

@royaards Has anyone actually made any profits with slop yet?
'When I think of GenAI, I picture something closer to tropical insects laying eggs beneath soft flesh of victims. There's something parasitical and sinister about flaying the skin of artists who've explicitly spoken out against GenAI and then gleefully parading around in that stolen flesh. Slop sounds like Soft sounds like Plop sounds like Globule. It slides down too easy; gets off too lightly.'

It's nice when a games journalist lets go with a nice takedown of AI slop. Shit Niblets. Bro'st-modern art. Hot Sloppy. etc.

I'm not sure how it is for other topics, but when it comes to programming topics, I keep finding more and more AI slop on "developer" blogs. It's getting to the point where finding helpful content is more and more difficult. I guess because the people who don't actually care about knowledge can spew slop at a much higher rate than people who produce quality content.
Dev blogs used to be a decent supplement to library docs. Not really any more.
Warum spricht man bei #Slop ausgerechnet von Slop? Was sloppt da?
*Plastic is slop, it's an oozy petroleum product, it crumbles, offgasses etc etc
*It was an amazing industrial miracle in the 1950s, they couldn't hype it enough
*I can see about 40 different plastic items from where I sit in this armchair
*Kid toys, clothing, furniture
*These laptop keys #slop
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS A.I. WILL NOT MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE?
From now on I am going to reply to any and all posts that say things like 'ChatGPT says...' or 'Grok says...' or post generated images etc with one word.
SLOP
I suggest you do the same
I just searched for "editor in chief" using @duckduckgo and look what it served me:
The first regular hit is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor-in-chief. But the "quoted text" below it does not sound like Wikipedia at all:
> Learn about the role and responsibilities of an editor-in-chief, who is the editorial leader of a publication with final responsibility for its operations and policies. Find out how the term is used in newspapers, magazines, journals, and academic publications.
They are unable to give me a proper summary but serve me some uninformative vague "engaging" slop instead. #duckduckgo #slop

@Epidiah Since slop can always only be average and generic, the best way to mark something as human-made is to make it look weird in a unique way.
Here's hoping the scrapers will just slop it up!

"The new feature would likely be an unwelcome one for users who would rather keep comments AI-free on Instagram, especially those who believe their friends deserve genuine comments as opposed to AI slop."

It's not even that it is AI #slop, but that it takes an idea I think most folks here already agree with, and tries to present it with fake bona fides.
The implication is that someone cared enough to pay to put up a billboard on a public place. Social proof.
The message itself could have just been text, posted, even as a big image.
But whoever the original creator was chose to present it this way for more impact.
I'll agree with the point, but not the delivery
Reminds me of Ted Gioia's Aesthetics of #Slop. They both criticizes the same thing, but from different POVs.
Where the New Socialist links Ai to fascist aesthetics (ai content embodies reactionary, hierarchical ideology that favors rigid structure, artificial perfection & control over the messy) Gioia's argument is a political one: the degradation of standards.
Gioia attacks corporate influences (Spotify-core music, low rent Netflix originals, etc)
