That said, slop is going to be a massive, natural, and utterly predictable consequence of AI. I think if you are generally AI positive then you definitely don't get to complain about slop.

I'm up to 40 posts on my blog tagged "slop" now: https://simonwillison.net/tags/slop/
I consider covering AI misuse as part of my "beat" that I write about - there are so many bad ways to apply this stuff, and shining a light on those and explaining why they're bad seems like an important thing to spend time on.
I don't currently share that belief. I expect AI misuse to be the overwhelming majority of AI usage so personally I'm pretty much against it outright.
I know that's a losing battle though. Your approach is probably the more productive way forward.
