What constitutes AI Slop? (lemmy.fedioasis.cc)

In my opinion, AI Slop is content made with AI that is low effort. People feel and know the quality of something, and if it feels like slop, it feels like slop.

AI being used is not a deal breaker for me as long as the product is good. AI isn’t magic and it takes skills and knowledge to use it and to judge what the model outputs.

You may see it differently however, some might believe that the use of any AI tools whatsoever turns any app into slop the moment the first commit with AI code in it is made.

What do you think, what constitutes AI Slop?

AI slop is content geared toward metrics in an algorithm. AI is helpless and must produce content averaged out by the metrics of whatever company designed the thing. But humans are perfectly capable of producing slop.

For example, a director working for Apple wanted to nerd out on the opening sequence to pay tribute to an obscure movie he liked. Apple said no. Their data showed that audiences needed to be captivated in the first 30seconds or they'd switch off. So how about a drone-shot over a European city with a song that cost a fortune to licence, and with a voice over explaining everything? All the slop, none of the AI.
