The anti-AI morons on Lemmy can’t or won’t tell the difference. They think “slop” is just a term for any LLM-generated (or refined) content. There’s no nuance to their thinking at all. They don’t assess the quality of the information provided or how the tool is actually being used.

Given the sources don’t really back up the content, I think it’s safe to say this is slop. You should probably proof AI slop before you white knight it next time.

The question was about document management systems that can be run in docker. The LLM response listed four document management systems that can be run in docker.

Was it a perfect response? No.

Was it a useful response? Yes.

Was it a better contribution to the discussion than yours? Lol.

The current thread is about AI slop, not DMS. You helped create the branch we’re on. You said “people on Lemmy can’t tell slop from useful info.” I said “this is AI slop because the sources don’t match,” assuming that I wouldn’t have to explain the hallucinations (fabrications is a bit better here) because that usually comes with slop. Since the current thread is about whether or not slop is meaningful, I have no idea what you added by saying “hey I attacked someone for not liking AI then attacked someone else for a refutation of the AI that I was white knighting.”

The thread was actually about document management systems
