So you're a slop-monger. I think op meant useful as in useful for creating anything of value.

So you’re a slop-monger.

Most of the speed improvements are when I'm using it to do things I previously did much more slowly with software, in particular After Effects.

I'm not surprised at the backlash against generative AI & the widespread use of the term 'slop'.

But human creatives have always used tools. Once upon a time, practical effects people, & paper and pen animators would have seen After Effects computer generated animation & VFX as slop, too.
