It's so weird how "AI slop" is generally recognized as a problem, as low quality and doing more harm than good, and at the same time AI is generally considered a huge great thing.

How can AI itself be so great if it's output is literally AI slop, which is basically garbage?

It's good for people who want to take shortcuts to do their work with minimal effort, good for employers who are waiting for it to mature enough to be able to eliminate most employees, and good for the people selling it. Outside of those bubbles, it's seen as garbage. None of these use cases increases quality or makes the world better.

In my experience, LLMs can be pretty great at coding and math.

When it comes to writing ordinary natural language, the constraints are less rigorous, and LLM output tends to focus on rhetoric, where the goal is to fool people into accepting a conclusion rather than actually supporting the conclusion from a logical perspective.
