Please stop hyping up the power of text generators. LLMs aren't predators with will of their own, they only have as much power as we are willing to cede to them.
The more afraid we are of slop doing something other than just being slop, the more power we are giving the companies (which are harmful) to actually control us. Don't help them.
On the other hand: The more naive someone is, the more they'll get manipulated and exploited. And ignoring problems doesn't solve them either. It regularly makes everything even worse...
What does that have to do with slop?
And that's okay from your perspective?
