In my views, “slop” is something soulless, and is not quite a reflection of quality.
I agree that we shouldn’t fight against it by saying its output is bad quality; we should fight against it by saying it’s soulless, and because of all of the negative externalities. It is, in its essence, a machine which devalues humanity and erodes our bonds with one-another.
Though, I do think we should bluntly reject the tech. We should definitely talk to people and have empathy, we should definitely be kind. The whole reason I am anti-GenAI is because I am pro-people, so of course we should be! But I do not think we should accept GenAI in any way.
That it will keep growing is a decision we as a society have to make, and I feel we should push that decision towards “no, we don’t want it, and it should go away”.
