the term “slop” has been so successful as a way of dismissing AI content with the appropriate level of care (none, as nobody who cared made the slop) that I’m starting to see AI boosters try to change the meaning of the word. it’s important to push back when you see these information colonizers:

- insist that genuine human effort is slop because it isn’t to their taste (ie the new Mario movie)
- claim that their AI output isn’t slop because they “checked” it and found it to be particularly good

@zzt I'm still annoyed that we let them get away with calling their failures "hallucinations". As if it's somehow meaningfully different
@nCrazed @zzt I honestly think it was helpful early on, to catch folks who might otherwise believe the machine was capable of thinking.
"If it can think, it doesn't know what's real" is a step toward the truth, and now those people are slightly more ready to face the reality of Word McNuggets
