Logo needs more AI!

At this point, they might as well rebrand to Macroslop© Slopilot®.

This is actually pretty accurate considering they also were the ones that killed Windows.

Don't make no slop, won't be no slop. /shrug

Microsoft wants people to stop calling AI content slop. People want Microsoft to stop pushing slop.

I predict nobody will get what they want.

I care about what Microsoft wants about as much as Microsoft cares about what I want.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 39 points 2 months ago

Microslop wants people to stop calling their AI slop "slop"? Well stop making slop then.

“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”.

Please stop nagging people to use your shiny new slop generator.

It is slop

Go fuck yourself

Give people an OS that works and works in a way that's a dumb pipe without AI "improvements"

Whatever you say, Sloppy Satya!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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!

Nah, see you made it look too appetizing.

Slop content CEO begs users to stop calling slop "slop."

FTFY

[–] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Well, I'd really like not being fed slop. Quit serving it to me, and I'll quit complaining.

[–] Alsjemenou@lemy.nl 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

It lives and dies by consumer demands? That hasn't been the case since we started this fucking race. It has pretty much been an Investment run enterprise since the very start. Name a single LLM derived product that is consciously being bought by consumers. It's all subscription based models that don't deliver on their promises. Nothing is living up to its promise.

Where is the AI that I can say: plan an appointment with my dad. And it links our agendas, sets the alarm, orders a bottle of wine, asks me to order an uber because im out of gas, and otherwise i should leave a bit earlier. Where are the actually smart intelligent assistants?

Shit peddler wants people to stop calling what he peddles "shit".

[–] RavenFellBlade@startrek.website 14 points 2 months ago

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.

Slopya Naslopla can slop off with his sloppy slop.

The whole naming is wrong though. It's not an intelligence. He should've said LLM content.

We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication," Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as "cognitive amplifier tools." "...and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other.

That's from a link in the article

And it's completely coherent!

MY SLOP IS ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL THANKS TO COGNITIVE AMPLIFIER TOOLS AND A NEW THEORY OF THE MIND.

Generative AI is slop, and the Microsoft CEO is sloppy.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This man has absolutely no idea how basic human behavior works. This will only increase the use of the "slop" label. Does he only interact with employees in his life?
