One interesting thing about the LLM era is it really highlights what things in life actually add value.

I haven’t had that experience at all. My experience is that if you allow people to be lazy they will be, at the expense of society.

What has your experience been like?

My experience, AI has shown me that a lot of stuff I do online. Watching videos, reading random articles, is mostly vapid pointless nonsense.

AI slop has finally woken me up and I am prioritizing IRL activities with friends and family, or activities more in the real world like miniature painting, piano, etc. It's made me much more selective with what activities I engage in, because getting sucked in to the endless AI miasma isn't what I want for my life.

That’s awesome, really happy to hear that!

Personally I still haven’t run into slop in long form video format, but it’s definitely concerning.

how so, any examples

Personally, it’s highlighted the value of physical books and helped me spend less time getting sucked into rabbit holes on devices. I’ve been much more deliberate about what text I choose to read. Been burning through classics that have been on my shelf for decades.
