AI slop hurts your soul.

It makes you: distrustful, dismissive of creative works, uncreative, derivative, imaginatively stunted, unreflective, dependant, it robs you of the satisfaction and growth granted by the creative process and it poisons you with all the same cultural biases taken from the training data.

AI robs people of imagination and the drive to create and instead produces output that is pastiche on steroid, uninspired unchallenging slop, every little detail crafted without personality or opinion with nothing to say except "this might vaguely remind you of something good that already existed"

I am also particularly concerned about the rise of chatbots pretending to be humans for political purposes.

LLMs are a Cognitohazard

I've seen a bunch of generally reasonable people say some pretty weird things about LLMs and I want to talk about them.
