arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the “new equilibrium” of human nature.
So the bubble has reached the desperation phase already?
Absolutely blows my mind at how much up their own asses they are to smell those farts.
They keep creating tools to create images, video, text, content. They're replacing people with machines. Sure, this can have tangible benefits in some roles, especially dangerous ones, but they aren't doing that. What in satan's fuck is left in life if we don't get to create, to build, to have purpose? Did they all collectively watch Wall-E and get the wrong message?
I always come back to that one scene in Star Trek: Insurrection:
Sojef: Our technological abilities are not apparent because we have chosen not to employ them in our daily lives. We believe that when you create a machine to do the work of a man, you take something away from the man.
While in that context, they took it a bit to the extreme, it is still poignant.
It seems the timeline right now is Office Space -> Wall-E -> Idiocracy -> Mad Max.
The begging is pathetic but not in the way we like.
Disrespectfully, no.
Lmao, I need to start saying this
“We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella wrote in a rambling post flagged by Windows Central, arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the “new equilibrium” of human nature.
I’m starting to notice a recent trend in tech CEOs. They seem to be saying “yes, we know you hate it but too bad get used to it”.
That's definitely not a modern trend. That's what they always say when people don't like their decisions.
Yup. First they give the middle finger to their customers, then they do it to their investors. Because who is punishing them?
Slop content CEO begs users to stop calling slop "slop."
FTFY
There was this audio book thing we used to have when I was in kindergarten. It was about farm animals, and each animal had its own sound effects. Pigs had the sound effect of a man saying the phrase "sloppity sloppity sloppity slop, sloppity sloppity sloppity slop".
This is now my mantra whenever I see AI slop.
Maybe we should start chanting it en masse at these tech conventions any time AI is being discussed as anything more than a massive waste of resources.
Say it with me:
slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop slop
Typical corporate bullshit, trying to hog all the credit.
How about if we call it MicroSlop? That way everyone associates Microsoft with AI slop, which is what they're becoming. They should want to promote their commitment to AI, right?
MicroSlop it is. Let's all help them with their crowd-sourced rebranding!
Get it while it’s hot!
Nah, see you made it look too appetizing.
The kind of slop I'm visualizing is more like
All I see is bacon there
Now now, let's save some of that vitriol for the rest of these tech clowns. Microslop are not the first nor the only rich pieces of shit pushing for this stuff.
Yeah, but this is the guy trying to silence us at the moment, and the label fits so well. We can still add slop to every other brand name, too. MicroSlop doesn't have a trademark on it.
Or maybe they do. If I were them, I'd trademark it and get the domain name, just to keep anybody else from using it against me. Hmm, brb...
Yep, someone already got it, and it's not Microsoft.
ohhhh hopefully they're as pissed off at AI as they should be. That'd be great for it to become a parody of some sort... Especially if it were a strong satire of their main website to the point where it'd confuse old people and others that fall for phishing scams. Make it look identical to MS except for all the obviously 'generated' text and images...
Then the more you confuse people and the more attention it gets, the better. Not only will the confused think MS is really misusing machine 'learning', but if you ended up sued by MS because idiots got confused over the obvious satire... oh man, that'd be a glorious court case.

Microsoft users beg CEO to stop being shit
Whatever you say, Sloppy Satya!
Well, I'd really like not being fed slop. Quit serving it to me, and I'll quit complaining.
The whole naming is wrong though. It's not an intelligence. He should've said LLM content.
Generative AI is slop, and the Microsoft CEO is sloppy.
If it looks like a slop and sounds like a slop...
How delusional of him.
chief executive slopfficer ?
Guy whose job depends on slop wants you to stop seeing slop as slop
Slop CEO says what?
No
Aw shucks, I came down with the AI psychosis, and it told me to just keep hitting Nadella in the face with a 12 lb mechanical keyboard untill he reboots correctly and stops just printing out arcane error codes...
I... I gotta do it... he's got the ... the seahorse emjois, he's hiding them!
Same place he keeps all his pictures of my desktop!
Begs? Nah. Click bait.
SmokyOrange BLASTS futurism.com author in SCATHING report.
Maybe later.
Micro$oft $lop: once their trademark is approved they'll start suing people who use the word.
Where in that article is the quote where Nadella can reasonably be described as "begging"?
Microslop.
At this point, they might as well rebrand to Macroslop© Slopilot®.
I saw one that I liked where he was just saying
slop
This makes me want to call it slop even more.
Streisand effect go brrrr
