Okay team,this your CEO
We're all gonna use some Dumb Shit.
"Why" you might ask? Well, I saw a report on Fox News & a man in a nice suit said everyone with a big penis does Dumb Shit so we're all gonna do it now because it's the Future.
I know it might suck. I know it's completely unrelated to most of your jobs. But I heard a trend and I would sooner run this company into the ground and micromanage every second of your life than seem uncool to people I will never meet.
@royaards Has anyone actually made any profits with slop yet?
'When I think of GenAI, I picture something closer to tropical insects laying eggs beneath soft flesh of victims. There's something parasitical and sinister about flaying the skin of artists who've explicitly spoken out against GenAI and then gleefully parading around in that stolen flesh. Slop sounds like Soft sounds like Plop sounds like Globule. It slides down too easy; gets off too lightly.'

It's nice when a games journalist lets go with a nice takedown of AI slop. Shit Niblets. Bro'st-modern art. Hot Sloppy. etc.

I'm not sure how it is for other topics, but when it comes to programming topics, I keep finding more and more AI slop on "developer" blogs. It's getting to the point where finding helpful content is more and more difficult. I guess because the people who don't actually care about knowledge can spew slop at a much higher rate than people who produce quality content.
Dev blogs used to be a decent supplement to library docs. Not really any more. 
*Plastic is slop, it's an oozy petroleum product, it crumbles, offgasses etc etc
*It was an amazing industrial miracle in the 1950s, they couldn't hype it enough
*I can see about 40 different plastic items from where I sit in this armchair
*Kid toys, clothing, furniture
*These laptop keys #slop
#AI is the new tobacco: that industry invented scientific controversy around the unquestionable harm of tobacco and lobbied aggressively against any regulation of its sales, just as corporations now peddle tall tales about utility of AI and lobby for its use everywhere, supercharging #enshittification by normalising #slop.
It took more than half a century to reverse what tobacco industry has done to public opinion on tobacco, and the damage to public health was irreversible.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS A.I. WILL NOT MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE?
From now on I am going to reply to any and all posts that say things like 'ChatGPT says...' or 'Grok says...' or post generated images etc with one word.
SLOP
I suggest you do the same

@Epidiah Since slop can always only be average and generic, the best way to mark something as human-made is to make it look weird in a unique way.
Here's hoping the scrapers will just slop it up!
Cloudflare turns AI against itself with endless maze of irrelevant facts

"The new feature would likely be an unwelcome one for users who would rather keep comments AI-free on Instagram, especially those who believe their friends deserve genuine comments as opposed to AI slop."

It's not even that it is AI #slop, but that it takes an idea I think most folks here already agree with, and tries to present it with fake bona fides.
The implication is that someone cared enough to pay to put up a billboard on a public place. Social proof.
The message itself could have just been text, posted, even as a big image.
But whoever the original creator was chose to present it this way for more impact.
I'll agree with the point, but not the delivery
How do I permanently disable the #LLM #Slop features on @duckduckgo without allowing them to store cookies on my machine? I use cookie-autodelete, but ddg has always been decent enough from a fresh profile every time. Now they're inserting generated nonsense at the top and the only way to turn it off is to click the settings each time.
The CSS all seems to be random hashes, so I can't just uBlock the element by style information.
