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 enjoying pro Ai blogs like Mike Masnick's Techdirt desperately trying to ignore genuine concerns about AI and the people that are pushing it and glomming on to anything and everything they can find to try and paint everyone with concerns as medieval witch Hunters or McCarthyists because some people online accused something of being AI slop incorrectly, then getting yelled at for a hundred comments because they're so far out of line with their own readers.
You can tell they're flailing when the defense of the plagiarism engine requires smears or pushing groups who are opposed on every other issue together to create hypocrisy.
