No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

“AI slop is quite fatiguing both in the actual action of viewing the content and the fact that it’s so repetitive, so unoriginal,” Avriel Epps, an AI researcher and assistant professor at the University of California Riverside, said.

I love that that's a quote from an assistant professor. Just stating matter-of-fact-ly that the content is boring as hell. Which, like, yeah, these LLMs and image generators are literally built to generate content based on existing patterns, so the content is by definition going to trend towards being boring. But then also just referring to it as "AI slop" like it's a technical term.

I mean, they probably need a name for it in research, too, and I would welcome them going with the term that's established in common parlance. But whichever way this usage came to be, I find it hilarious. Especially with Satya Nadella being so deeply saddened by adults continuing to call it what it is. 🙃

One of the few use-cases I have for LLMs is when brainstorming mechanics and game design for GameJams.

I give it the theme and genres I want to go for, and ask for some unique and original ideas of what I should make.

And then make sure to avoid anything it suggests, because it's the most obvious and boring solution anyone could come up with.
