Interesting; I wonder, if the content is of good quality - do people care who/what have produced it? I would say, mostly not; it remains to be seen what/who is valued by most humans the most in this context - humans or machines

Yes. Like the other commenter in OP's link said, I avoid AI like the plague.

I lose all interest once I find out that it's machine generated.

I feel that we're slowly reaching a turning point at which people will get tired of the averaged-out slop and crave something that feels eccentric, new and unforeseen.

And we'll (hopefully) have a new era of artists filling that demand.

At least, this is what I wish the future holds for us.

Why should I listen to AI slop that I could've easily prompted up myself on a rainy Thursday afternoon?

WW2 Tales on youtube has been a smash hit the last week or two, publishing 2-3 20-40 minute essays per day and racking up a ton of views (200k-1.1M)

> I think that people who are still referring to all AI-generated content as AI slop are probably lazy luddites

talk about flooding the zone with shit. It couldn't possibly refer to the mind-numbingly bland and unoriginal nature of AI generated content.
