Your experience sharing is also information, not content. It doesn't have to be a technical manual or a self improvement text.
What I call content is ... well, content ... produced not because you have something to say but because you're aiming for quantity.
- Lerc 9mo agoExperience sharing has an information component, the thing that distinguishes it from a written report containing the same facts is not. What you call content is just low effort content. Slop is a more evocative term that probably captures the concept of low effort, unfortunately it has already been poisoned by people declaring anything AI assisted to be slop regardless of how much effort went into the work. There are a lot of people who work tirelessly on things that have a massive time and effort commitment for each thing they produce. Yet they identify as content creators. Dismissing their work seems disrespectful to me. Sturgeon's Law is a warning to not overlook the good because of the preponderance of the bad.
