Oh, you think it’s just this story? The cost of reading slop is infinity. No thanks.

- chungusamongus 3mo agoThat's circular reasoning
- thatjoeoverthr 3mo agoIt’s not. It’s very simple, but you like to say “circular reasoning”. Maybe you heard it in debate class. There is unlimited slop. I decide what to read _without reading it_. So do you. I have deemed this unworthy. It’s more fun to insult it than to read it. Every day is a gift.

- chungusamongus 3mo agoReally? It just seems aggressively stupid.
- bookofjoe 3mo agoYou're right. I should've specified "sentiment frequently seen here."
- thatjoeoverthr 3mo agoThanks!
- chungusamongus 3mo agoIt is circular. The conclusion of your argument is included in the premises. Textbook begging the question, which is circular reasoning. "Slop" existed before AI. Just because LLMs were involved in the writing of a text does not make it inherently "slop." You're just lazy. Everyday is a gift, and yet you waste it getting weirdly defensive about your choices? Someone who is secure about this sort of thing doesn't feel the need to explain themselves.
