A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It's good to see the old ways still being followed. We were calling them Microslop back when Windows ME released.
I.. don't think that's true. Google trends also confirms this is a new name invented now because of the word slop trending, but I welcome being proven wrong.
I remember we had lots of variations like Micro$oft, Microshaft, Microhard, Microshit, Microsloth, etc.
Maybe it was just my office.
Ah yes, it was probably micro$loth
Concur, 'slop' as a common word is pretty new.
We had the names for all the potentially frustating platforms, deserved or not. I recall:
LMAO what? Slop has been a word in common usage for centuries.
In the context of being the go to word for low quality output for tech...
Pretty sure it was MicroSUX
