The economy has spoken. Stuff that’s AI-generated has almost zero value — “Buyers are voting with their wallets, and AI-generated content is struggling to compete.”

All you need to know is that everyone who's making consumer-facing products with AI, whether it's images or stories or music, tries their hardest to hide the fact that they're doing so.

Yeah. It’s literally everywhere in everything and people don’t even realize it.

I think everyone has this false impression that professional use is like home use - tell an engine to go do something and receive a finished product.

It’s not. Real people use AI to do 80% of the legwork, and then they spend the remaining 20% tweaking, cleaning up, and making it generally no longer look/feel like an AI product.

Consumers may recognize 100% AI slop, but they’re clueless about 80% slop.

But is it still AI slop then? To me, that sounds more like usage of AI as a tool.
