We can tell by your fury that you’re a slop poster.
I don’t want a random person’s use of an AI to be slopped at me. I don’t know what they asked it, a lot of the words are made up, and I have to go through the effort of decoding it.
If I wanted an AI answer I would ask an AI. AI slop is made up. It’s like handing me a paste of google search results. It’s creating work for me.
I agree with you. No one wants this.
But the internet has had slop long before AI. It's in the same class as clickbait. AI just made it worse and given the slop a distinct flavor. You can be furious about this if you want, but to me this seems like a waste of energy, which is the whole point of my original post.
We need better tools for managing our attention. Perhaps the effort of decoding it can be offloaded to AI.
Is that lame? Yes, but at least it's somewhat effective.
