"Slop" is a general term, you can create slop as a human, for example YouTubers who upload daily talking about the latest Twitter drama they are usually referred to as making slop, especially if they have a main channel where they upload high quality content. It's not a new term and it has little to do with AI by itself.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoI think an important difference between Youtubers putting out low-quality videos is that it still takes them at least as much time to generate the video as the video's run-time - same with pointless self-promo blogposts, unhinged LinkedIn posts, etc. With generative A.I., this kind of slop can be pumped out at an industrial scale. It'd be like equating your neighbor dumping a bag of garbage on the roadside, with the industrial plant down the road pouring out thousands of gallons of toxic waste per minute into a river.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y ago> at least as much time to generate the video as the video's run-time That's for the very lowest-tier video. The usual formula, is that for every minute of runtime, you have at least 30 minutes of editing. With professionally-produced video, I think it's triple or quadruple that.
- GaggiX 2y agoI'm talking about how the term is used because the author doesn't seem to be too familiar with Internet slang and believes that the term is new and strictly related to AI.
