AI companies and users of AI are littering all aspects of public space with “AI slop”, but does this term reflect what it really is? We have terms like visual pollution, sound pollution, etc. In a way, "AI pollution " seems a proper term, but AI also pollutes meaning, like with AI generated text. Is AI pollution a new form of “microplastics”? Everywhere and in everything?
I feel like this is another example of a topic title with a different question than the body.
I interpreted the title ask asking something like whether “AI slop” is good enough. Or asking if “AI slop” is where the technology peaks. (As in, is AI slop enough, or can we do more with AI models?)
I feel like it’s yet another a thinly-veiled rant disguised as a question. Which is not to say I disagree with their premise, but there has to be a better community for this soapbox stuff.
They should’ve just made the topic more obvious. I don’t have a problem if people want to have a circlejerk around hating AI, even in this community, but make it clear that’s what it is.
“Should we be calling it something worse than “AI slop”?”
Then everybody who’s into that kind of fun will join, and anybody who’s not interested can move on, lol
I think AI is still in its infancy and we have yet to know it’s full potential. Nevertheless, I have a love-hate relationship with AI.
