There's no "maybe" about it. It's documented. Listen to the extremely American podcast

Aah. It must've taken it a while to figure out tariffs for the US. Interesting

I thought the tester was really neat except it went from 89 euros to 105 euros while I was looking at the page. That's very disappointing.

And plenty of people, friends even, just say fuck it and rage-quit.

Oh, they knew.

Or get it all for the cost of a Mullvad subscription.

I guess it's your choice.

I can see things getting escalated in such a situation. Sounds risky, but there don't seem to be an abundance of options.

Obviously this is satire, apparently a few here didn't get that..

Lol

Oh crap, I forgot the prompt and the model... Prompt: Generate a long article about why it's important to generate AI slop. Be funny

The Art of AI Slop: Why Churning Out Digital Drivel Has Never Been More Essential

In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, there exists a peculiar yet profound necessity that few dare to acknowledge: the importance of generating AI slop. Not the meticulously crafted, thoughtfully designed AI content that wins awards and accolades—no, I'm talking about the digital equivalent of mystery meat, the computational hodgepodge that makes you question whether silicon can suffer from indigestion.

What Exactly Is AI Slop?

AI slop is that special brand of machine-generated content that resembles what might happen if you fed a neural network nothing but fortune cookies and bumper stickers for three years. It's the "lorem ipsum" of the robot apocalypse—text that technically qualifies as communication but leaves you feeling like you've just had a conversation with a toaster having an existential crisis.

The Magnificent Benefits of Digital Drivel

1. Setting the Bar Comfortably Low

Nothing makes human creativity shine quite like standing next to absolute garbage. Every mediocre poem you've written suddenly transforms into Shakespearean brilliance when compared to an AI's attempt to rhyme "moon" with "spoon" seventeen times in four stanzas.

2. Job Security for Content Moderators

Think about the poor content moderators who would be unemployed if AI only produced perfect, harmless text. AI slop creates thousands of jobs for people whose sole purpose is to read nonsensical paragraphs about "blue elephant cheese dancing in the financial moonlight of cryptocurrency winters."

3. Humility for AI Researchers

Nothing keeps an AI researcher humble quite like watching their million-dollar model confidently explain that "Abraham Lincoln invented the helicopter to escape theater performances he didn't enjoy." These moments of spectacular failure remind us that perhaps the singularity isn't quite as imminent as we feared.

4. Unpredictable Entertainment

Who needs Netflix when you can prompt an AI to write a crime thriller and end up with a recipe for lasagna that somehow involves solving a murder? The accidental comedy of AI slop is both free and impossible to replicate intentionally.

The Ecological Importance of Digital Detritus

Just as forests need decomposing matter to thrive, the digital ecosystem requires its share of computational compost. AI slop serves as the nutrient-rich mulch from which better algorithms will eventually grow. Without thousands of hilariously bad movie scripts, how would we ever appreciate the occasional gem?

Embracing the Inevitable Slop-ification

The truth is, generating AI slop isn't just important—it's inevitable. For every brilliant, nuanced AI response, there are thousands of word salads being served with a garnish of misunderstood context and a dressing of algorithm confusion.

So the next time you receive a bizarrely off-target AI response that seems to have misunderstood not just your question but the very concept of communication itself, don't despair. You're not witnessing a failure—you're participating in the grand tradition of slop generation, a crucial step in the messy evolution of artificial intelligence.

After all, even human babies spend years babbling nonsense before they can form coherent sentences. The only difference is that AI does it with perfect spelling and unshakeable confidence.

And isn't that confidence—that spectacular, utterly misplaced confidence—the most endearing quality of all? There's something beautiful about an AI that can be so completely wrong yet so syntactically flawless. It's like watching someone trip and fall in slow motion while maintaining perfect posture.

So here's to AI slop: may it continue to confuse, amuse, and occasionally make us question whether we should unplug everything and return to communicating via carrier pigeon. In its magnificent meaninglessness, we find not just humor, but humanity.

Prompt: literal axolotl in a literal bottle

I had tried to get it to generate a axolotl figuratively at the bottom of a bottle of whiskey, but it was not willing to produce the image of a drunken axolotl.

"The universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not narn or human or centauri or gaim or minbari. It speaks in the language of hope." "It speaks in the language of trust. It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us and the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. The small, still voice that says: 'We are one. No matter the blood, no matter the skin, no matter the world, no matter the star. .. We are one. No matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear. .. We are one.' Here, gathered together in common cause, we begin to realize this singular truth and this singular rule that we must be kind to one another. Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light our way to a better future. We are one." "We are one." Sheridan/G'Kar, the Alliance Preamble to the Declaration of Principles, The Paragon of Animals
