Not as much as the relentless positivity around capitalism.
Maybe, its because “ai” is hurting society, and its causing lots of damage?
Whine harder, techboy.
He sees his future financial ruin rushing towards him like a freight train, and he’s starting to panic.
When CEOs beg you to be nicer to their products, you know they’re in trouble.
Financial ruin is a not possible for him. Nvidia could seize to exist today and he will still have more money than millions of hard working people put together.
He’s a capitalist and they want to amass as much wealth as possible because their brain is broken. They are willing to destroy all of society as long as they continue to amass wealth.
I know, right? You never heard Steve Jobs demanding that people be nicer to their iPods.
Not sure if he was in charge, but I remember the iphone’s “antenna gate” when apple said the users were “holding it wrong”. iPhone 4, maybe.
Never want to defend Steve Jobs, but it DID get worse service if you deathgripped the antenna region. That shouldn’t happen, but also, like, c’mon you’re gonna hurt your hand. Steve was right.
The correct way to hold it:
That was definitely Steve Jobs and the iPhone 4. And while that was definitely pretty silly, it wasn’t as ridiculous as this.
100% agreed
If your product was good you wouldn’t have to beg people to be nice to it. Isn’t this the “free market” I keep hearing about?
Reminds me of all those times that Steve Jobs had to lash out at people unwilling to stand in line for an iPhone.
Oh, right. That didn’t happen because the iPhone was useful.
Edit: Oh, I see that several others made this point already in this thread. Haha. I might be unoriginal, but at least I’m predictable.
Only for them. Now get back to work you lazy slob!
(subtitle) Won’t somebody think of the CEOs?
(ending sentence) It’s unlikely that the negativity is going to go away because it hurts a few executives’ feelings.I bloody love the mockery sandwich. Also:
Microsoft’s Satya Nadella recently complained that the conversation around AI needs to move beyond “slop.”
As a reminder, it’s now estimated that more than 20% of YouTube’s feed can be defined as slop,Kind of a damn good way to convey “yeah, just ignore Nadella”.
Maybe if “ai” would make better than mere slop, we might actually like it? (e.g. if instead of just stealing it might do something responsibly, and also well)
Somehow all this reminds me of spez… we are just landed gentry, don’t you know 😜
I think the negative reaction is composed of multiple factors coming together:
- slop (as you said),
- people using the slop to add noise to the internet,
- harmful output (not talking about the paperclip problem; think on Grok sexualising minors, or ChatGPT fuelling mental issues)
- businesses shoving those models everywhere and being extra pushy about them,
- environmental and geopolitical issues,
- authorship and intellectual property issues,
- “training” being made with no regards to consent of the creators,
- all that “you’re now obsolete garbage! Soon we’ll be able to trash you and replace you with AI!” bzzz-bzzz-bzzz,
- supply and demand of hardware parts…
…phew. All of that while disingenuous people — like Huang, Altman or Nadella — feign ignorance on why people complain about it and pretend it’s a bunch of primitives backslashing against “the future”.
You’d need to fix a lot of those to make people like AI. Not just the slop.
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.
has done a lot of damage
Not enough
It’s not my ideas that are bad, it’s all of you!

Aww poor millionaire
He’s a hundred-billionaire.
More like it’s hurting their future profits.
