Is "AI slop" enough? (lemmy.eco.br)
submitted 2 days ago by flango@lemmy.eco.br to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

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?

capitalism is bothering you, not ai. there's nothing inherently wrong with ai, this "slop" is just the many forms capital can take. it is not much different from terrible film productions created only with the purpose of capital accumulation.

I like to believe that LLMcan be used the right way.
I believe there is a genuine use for them.
The fact hhat now you can probably buy an AI powered trash can or toilet seat, is not the AI's fault.
