AI is here to stay. There will most likley be some crash in the near future, but Pandaora is let the evil out of her the box and AI will remain part of our reality in some shape or form.
The way language goes i personally expect the word “slop” to change into a neutral term, maybe as a way to describe that something is using AI, but without the negative connotation the word carries today. I can imagine this to happen within the next five to ten years. There may very much be a Windows 12 add that empasizes how much slop they used to make it.
No idea how “they” use this. But i mean it much in the way Scipitie here has correctly understood it. AI is here. We don’t have to like it, personally i use zero AI in my live. But the technology has it’s foothold widh the masses by now. I don’t see how it would ever go away again. It will transform, post crash and all, but it won’t go away.
