A huge leap forward into being inundated with slop? Oh, no...
If the only thing you think AI is good for is slop pictures, then you need to get off social media.
Not just pictures. All sorts of slop, slop search results, slop articles, slop code, slop reddit posts, there's a whole world of ai slop out there.
Have you not seen our heard the slop people come up with online? I really think it’s about the same slop rate at this point.
It's not. Ai can do it instantly, and doesn't have to sleep. The Internet has already been filled with so much shit that huge portions of it are useless. This was happening before ai and is a big part of why ai sucks but not at the rate it is now. People are setting up bots and turning them loose to feed off each other which only magnifies the problem.
