  • They should’ve just made the topic more obvious. I don’t have a problem if people want to have a circlejerk around hating AI, even in this community, but make it clear that’s what it is.

    “Should we be calling it something worse than “AI slop”?”

    Then everybody who’s into that kind of fun will join, and anybody who’s not interested can move on, lol




  • I feel like this is another example of a topic title with a different question than the body.

    I interpreted the title ask asking something like whether “AI slop” is good enough. Or asking if “AI slop” is where the technology peaks. (As in, is AI slop enough, or can we do more with AI models?)






    1. Mass layoffs due to AI.
    2. Economy crashes due to AI bubble burst.
    3. Businesses collapse because AI can’t replace the people that got replaced, especially in the long term
    4. Economy sucks so there’s no money to hire the people who lost their jobs
    5. War and climate change get worse and affect the nouveaux poore more than ever before
    6. A huge volcanic eruption or meteor hit causes local deaths somewhere and worldwide catastrophe
    7. Half-Life 3 releases, but nobody has money or hardware to play it
    8. Aliens invade
    9. Economy goes wild with some stupid new tech.

  • I got into an “argument” with what was probably an AI bot with Uber.

    It seemed to give me a partial refund, but it actually gave me a full refund. I kept saying “I want the full refund”, and it kept saying “I can only give you this partial refund, and I won’t explain why”.

    It turns out, it was doing the math wrong. It kept saying “After the refund, your new total is [higher than what it’s supposed to be]”. But the actual refund was accurate, which I didn’t notice at first.

    I think it may have been including the tip I added into the price for the fare, or something.

    Either way, a human would’ve been like “Oh yes that includes your tip as well”, or “I’m telling you the total of all your charges”, but the AI agent only had canned lines and “sorry, I can’t help you because we already adjusted your fare.”





  • This is my problem with American products. The standards are too low! Sugar is replaced with corn. The cream in ice cream is replaced with oil. Chocolate is replaced with unrelated fats. And it’s all legally allowed to be sold as what they’re a facsimile of!

    At best, there are names like “chocolatey”. Bullshit.

    My least favourite alternative that Nestle loves is just leaving what it is off the package. So here in Canada, it doesn’t say ice cream. It doesn’t say anything unless you look for the fine print.

    But it’s in an ice cream carton sitting a metre away from real ice cream. This is false marketing by omission. If I wrote the laws, this would be illegal.
