Microslop's CEO is on a roll!

Few weeks ago he begged us to stop using "slop" because it makes AIs sad. Days ago he complained "AI boom might falter" if we don't start using more spicy autocomplete.

Now he's begging developers to "do something useful" with lying machines, or they might lose the "social permission" to boil the planet.

What, is Microslop's Slopilot services not useful enough on their own?

Every "AI" company will have layers upon layers of defenses against LLM-generated text ending up in training data.

Which is why they desperately seek out any and all human-created text out there.

Remember how we were all supposed to be "left behind" if we don't jump on the Metaverse bandwagon? Especially businesses?

But today we should treat absolutely seriously all the bullshit about "being left behind" if we don't adopt "AI"! 🤡
