Honestly, regarding the whole "LLM slop" thing, I don’t care. I get why others do, but I just don’t.
I don’t care how that sausage is made. Heck, sometimes gen AI even allows people who otherwise wouldn’t have had the time or skills to come up with funny things.
What annoys me is all the spam SEO-gamed websites with low information density drowning the answer I’m actually looking for in pages of empty sentences.
When they haven’t just gamed their way to the top of search results without actually containing any answer.
And that didn’t need LLMs to exist. Just greed and actors with interests unaligned with mine. Such as Google’s former head of ads, apparently. [0][1]
