AI companies and users of AI are littering all aspects of public space with “AI slop”, but does this term reflect what it really is? We have terms like visual pollution, sound pollution, etc. In a way, "AI pollution " seems a proper term, but AI also pollutes meaning, like with AI generated text. Is AI pollution a new form of “microplastics”? Everywhere and in everything?

    Agreed. Human brains are not good with AI because we get su mich praise from them And they keep the engagement going with even more praise.
    I actually made sure that every model I use don’t fo those, not referencing itself as a person.
    It is really addictive to “just ask one more question”.
    People will develop emotional bonds to brands “ohh Gemini is so funny!”, “Claude is such a sarcastic asshole”.
    And let’s not start on getting lazy. Laziness is evolutionary trait. Using AI is as lazy as it can be.

        There were outliners already who were happy with their waifus, marrying their body pillow - and so on.
        AI just make it way easier to cut those pesky human connections that require actual effort.
