The referenced article or anecdotes on "AI slop" ironically mentions "climate change" as a real threat, though there's a lot more evidence for this longstanding computer-generated fraud. It's also authored by a man who identifies as non-binary according to trans/gender ideology's pseudoscience. I can only assume "they" take seriously the convid scamdemic as well.
I'm not going to use AI, but I'm old and obsolete to the machinery of production, and that's not going to stop AI using people for purposes of socially engineering humans into more anti-human dystopia, as already underway. When cell/'smart' phones rolled out, I didn't use them, either. But this was another technology which those who control the economy made a virtual necessity of survival, supply creating demand by determining access to work and leisure in the digital (c)age.
Your recent piece on the need for face-to-face human relations recalls an antediluvian age to which I still belong, even if by myself, and for which I long. Even then, I saw the harmful effects of TV, destroying communities and neighborhoods for instance. But short of a neo-luddite revolution reversing the flood of these and other technologies of control in favor of decentralized, human-scaled society, I don't think it will be long before many or most become more mutant products of machines out to make human nature itself obsolete.
