AI slop hurts your soul.
It makes you: distrustful, dismissive of creative works, uncreative, derivative, imaginatively stunted, unreflective, dependant, it robs you of the satisfaction and growth granted by the creative process and it poisons you with all the same cultural biases taken from the training data.
AI robs people of imagination and the drive to create and instead produces output that is pastiche on steroid, uninspired unchallenging slop, every little detail crafted without personality or opinion with nothing to say except "this might vaguely remind you of something good that already existed": degrading culture and artistic expression into a facsimile of art similar to how fascists view art, it funnels visual expression through a filter designed by some of the most powerful people on the planet and is trained on data that has been proven to embed cultural biases such as racism and sexism
Gen AI is notorious for lying about things, googles AI search famously told people to eat rocks and put glue on pizza. So called "Hallucinations" are endemic to AI mod

Gen AI is notorious for lying about things, googles AI search famously told people to eat rocks and put glue on pizza. So called "Hallucinations" are endemic to AI models and there is currently no known way to root them out.
By trusting LLMs for factual reference you are contributing to poisoning the information ecosystem with hallucinated LLM garbage. Please don't do that, stick to sources written by humans who can be held accountable for lies
I am also particularly concerned about the rise of chatbots pretending to be humans for political purposes.

I've seen a bunch of generally reasonable people say some pretty weird things about LLMs and I want to talk about them.
