This idea that AI generated content is ‘slop’ vs human generated content being of ‘substance’ is such a sad and ’losing’ stance. It’s the same knee-jerk reaction by humans when they feel attacked. When drum machines came into existence, then ‘real musicians’ hated on them, when photoshop made the rounds, photographers cried, when cameras became a thing, artists cried. It’s always been like this. Any modern technology that somehow takes on human-centric tasks (and of course, does them way better than human hand-skill alone) becomes a thing to be feared, till of course the inevitable. It becomes commonplace and people forget they hated on it - till the next thing. And this is exactly what’s happening with ai. Now, this was me writing this purely ‘human-like’, I’m going to post this as a thought, then I’m going to have an ai make a full fledged blog-post out of it. Let’s see how unsubstance like it will be.
