How Does AI Affect Your Online Shopping?

[Brendan Byrd]

AI only creates slop?

Oh wait, sometimes AI writes so well that we can't tell the difference between what you, and experienced RPG author writes and AI? So is AI slop or is what you write slop?

I think perhaps too much emotion and not enough consideration before replying? Or is the first response an emotional statement and not a qualitative one?

Guess we need to define slop.
A now infamous AI written guide to edible mushrooms — has resulted in actual harm to actual people. That, in my opinion, is slop.
For myself, sludge, presents as poorly written and reasoned.

Answering for myself, not Morrus, I think you’re missing another option. Right now, there’s a pretty vocal contingent of people who believe they can always tell the difference between AI-created content and content created by humans. And like transvestigators, their error rate is pretty high.

I’ve seen them accuse people of using AI for images when in reality it was older pictures (predating AI) edited by Photoshop or even using simple digital or physical filters.

The same goes for written passages. An unusual turn of phrase, an unfamiliar word, and suddenly, the writer was “clearly” using AI.

I'm not hostile in principal to some application of AI tools, but like most things, bad product is bad no matter whether it was human, machine or hybrid produced.
