Plenty of people are anti "AI" because the uses they see it being put to are AI slop posted on Facebook to be responded to by boomers or bots. Or both. The dead Internet theory is becoming real.
- nelsonfigueroa 1y agoThis. I even see more professional pages (personal technical blogs, corporate technical blogs) use text and images that are straight up AI slop.
- falcor84 1y agoMaybe it's just me, but while I have an issue with text slop, GenAI images never bothered me. My experience is that they're only really used where the alternative would have been a lazy stock photo or clipart image. And in these cases, it seems to me that writing a prompt is actually more of an artistic expression than the even more minimal effort that they likely would have spent on taking the first image they would have found on google.
- Analemma_ 1y agoIn theory there's no reason this has to be the case, but in practice there is a very strong correlation between using a blog using GenAI images and the blog being shit. On Substack in particular, use of GenAI images is a strong "don't waste your time here" signal.
