    1. I would actually listen if Microsoft stopped producing slop.

      I genuinely want Microsoft to succeed and make great products and it’s infuriating that they are missing the mark.

      Well it’s worthless. Worth of e.g. art is determined by skill, uniqueness, time and dedication. „AI“ has none of that.

    3. Slop is soulless, bland, uninteresting, low effort, low quality food.

      AI is soulless, bland, uninteresting, low effort, low quality service.

      Sounds like slop to me.

    4. AI is valuable as a tool, but if you’re using AI to generate content, we as a audience are becoming more and more sensitive to the tone style and feel of this stuff, it’s gonna get worse and will continually be reinforced

      AI is an extension of the user and amplifies their intellectual potential

      You can use it design new therapeutics, predict macromolecular structures, process huge scientific datasets, efficiently write new code, etc.

      Or you can write it to generate slop, turn in shitty term papers, make fake images/videos, and serve as fake girlfriends

      How one perceives it says a lot about the poster

      My local radio station has started using an AI weather person. It sounds god awful and makes me dislike the station as a whole.

      Stop thinking of food as junk!

      No, junk food is junk. AI slop is slop. There is plenty AI does really well, like route calculation in maps. I don’t think anyone seriously denies that.

      AI can be considered “slop” when it produces large amounts of low-effort, generic, or inaccurate content that prioritizes speed and volume over insight, originality, or care. In those cases, it adds noise rather than value—repeating patterns without understanding, context, or responsibility.

      BTW yeah that’s the AI explanation.

      Ok then…. Go cure cancer with AI instead of slinging chatbots and garbage “media”.

      That will change AIs rep overnight. Unfortunately we know they won’t. They will keep pushing SLOP
