@javier@col.social @mhoye@cosocial.ca Yes: visibility is only part of what makes it slop, reliability is the rest. LLM generated text that reads as though a human wrote it will still contain gross inaccuracies.

Yes, @javier@col.social. The Venus de Milo is still the Venus de Milo, even when packed inside a wooden crate. AI slop is still AI slop when no one can see it.

@javier@col.social @mhoye@cosocial.ca Yes, it's even worse slop. Slop isn't slop because it has bad repetitive style. It's slop because it's wasting your attention/cognitive capability processing it as though it's meaningful information when in fact it's just information-shaped text lacking any information content. The difference is provenance, not the shape or even the words. The exact same sentence can be slop or non-slop with the only distinction being provenance.
