Having been on the receiving end of those accusations myself, I concur, and have no doubt 'AI slop' is sometimes used disingenuously. Indeed. Good discussions they are, too. They are great tools and they increase productivity tenfold if you know how to you use them and are aware of their limitations. The issue I wanted to highlight, essentially, is that they have been overhyped and therefore there is too much reliance on them in general. This is not the 'new frontier' that people have been led to believe in (often by unscrupulous investors and sales people whose end goal is to get rid of half the workforce). They are merely tools, albeit very good ones, and I anticipate that the bubble will burst and the hype will die down by next year (thankfully).
