It's true that AI makes the slop easier.

That's actually a good thing.

Slop has been out there and getting worse for the last decade but it's been at an, unfortunately, acceptable level for most of society.

Gen AI shouts that the emperor has no clothes.

The bullshit busywork can be generated. It's worthless. Finally.

No more long winded grant proposals. Or filler emails. Or Filler presentations. Or filler videos. or perfectly samey selfies.

Now it's worthless. Now we can move on.

Oh come on, are you 12? Real life doesn’t have narrative arcs like that. This is a real problem. We’re not gonna just sit around and then enjoy a cathartic resolution.

(Maybe skip the mini-insults & make the site nicer for all?)

Anyway I think GP has a point worth considering. I have had a related hope in the context of journalism / chain of trust that was mentioned above: if anyone can produce a Faux News Channel tailored to their own quirks on demand, and can see everyone else doing the same, will it become common knowledge that Stuff Can Be Fake, and motivate people to explicitly decide about trust beyond "Trust Screens"?

What do you think incentivized the mass production this "slop"? Why do you think LLMs will end the incentives to continue creating it?
