    That seems a solid listing. I would add one more: companies that did actually fire their workforces and attempt to replace them with a"i" now having regretted it, and likely to the tune of that decision having destroyed their entire company.

    Although my earlier comment was purely about the slop present on YouTube - where slop or no slop, already the monetization aspects have been so destructive to the utility of those videos.

    This now makes me curious: does the term “slop” apply beyond text, images, and videos? I thought “ai” coding was called “vibe-coding” rather than slop?

      Even for the one just in YT, people automatically say “eeew” if it’s AI-generated, even if not slop.

      I think it could. I only recall seeing it for media, but the meaning fits AI code well. Specially dysfunctional code outputted in large quantities.

      “Vibe coding” simply lacks that negative connotation, it’s what the people making it call it.
