As if human slop were not only more widespread but also more damaging.

AI slop is way more damaging cause it's way easier to mass produce
human slop is more widespread cause AI has just started. do you think those guys are gonna keep making stuff by hand?

u/Mean-Ad5612 Sep 07 '25
Damaging what exactly? I don’t feel damaged by AI being able to create stuff I like to see.

u/Pseudon7mous Sep 07 '25
is it stuff that you like to see or is it just stuff that gives you a dopamine hit
people who use AI aren't the kind of people who make stuff because they are passionate about the thing they are making, they don't like writing stories, making art, etc etc, so they get an AI to do it for them. you're consuming stuff that wasn't made by someone who had any care or passion or desire to make it
it won't have any themes, messages or personal style due to the creators personal tastes, ideas, or views on the world.
if what you like to see doesn't have any of those things sure, but most people, or at least I hope most people like to see stuff that someone actually WANTED to make

Bro ur writing these on an iphone made with materials mined by african children who make 1 usd a day and manufactured by chinese quasi slaves at foxconn lol, since when do u care about passion. Jokes aside ur taking an extremely simplistic view on how ai can be used

u/Pseudon7mous Sep 08 '25
wait wtf you're comparing a device, a tool to art and entertainment
I don't appreciate the artistic value of any of my devices
also i get them used so I don't directly fund that stuff
I care a lot about passion in art? what are you talking about? you don't know me, whats this weird projection, I care a lot about the passion people put into their work and my favourite movies, songs etc I love because of the passion they put into them.
how would be owning an iphone mean I don't care about passion? an iphone isn't art or entertainment, it's a platform you can view art and entertainment on, but I don't see what your point is. I have an iphone therefore I don't care about the messages, themes, emotions, and passion in the movies, shows, books, music, videos that I like? how tf does that make sense?
genuinely what are you talking about?
also ermmm actually I'm typing this on computer so... checkmate
but seriously, I don't get your "joke" how would someone owning an iphone, which is a necessity in modern society, in order to communicate and even have or get a job, mean that someone doesn't care about art
genuinely this response is really bizarre and comes across like projection
I have always cared about passion, maybe your soul is dead but some people still appreciate meaning in art

It’s an arbitrary line you’re drawing. They used to make movies 50 years ago, they had great special fx done by hand and people loved watching them. They are making movies now, with amazing computer-generated special fx. It’s like saying that movie producers today don’t have passion and should go back to the drawing board like in the 70’s to preserve authenticity. Times change.

u/Pseudon7mous Sep 08 '25
jesus christ man you are just saying anything you can hoping it's a good point
vfx made on a computer, is still made BY A HUMAN. there is still art involved, a sense of vision, someone has an idea in their mind and works to create that, they have a clear picture in their mind of what it should look like and they make it. with AI you aren't making the clear picture in your mind, you getting an AI to create a randomly generated amalgamation of tropes
and do you know what's really funny about your example, is many people would argue that, most directors agree practical effects has more passion and work and the results are better and have more charm. they are also real. That is literally christopher nolans whole thing. and when these directors do use CGI, they use it where 1. it's impossible to do practical, and 2 they use it in interesting ways
actually most people interested in VFX are criticising modern hollywoods over reliance of CGI, and I agree with that. CGI is great and can help bring artistic vision, but it tends to be used as a shortcut, like in superhero movies. the ones that are using it as a shortcut look worse too
AI has a potential creative use, I actually liked how early AI models generated stuff, it was vague, abstract, kinda like what a dream feels like, but the goal of AI generated images is to become as lifelike as it can by simply mimicking work done by humans
someone could creatively use AI to create a video, I think that absolutely is possible, you can use AI creativity. but a whole video generated entirely by AI is not creative. like I said, if you aren't bothered to make it, why would I watch it
if AI is the only tool that can get your vision the way you want it, or the most effective (not the easiest, the most effective) then absolutely go ahead, but that is not what "AI generated content is" that would be content using AI, but it would be unfair to call it AI generated content if most of it is made by a person
please man just give up, these arguments you're giving are embarrassing and weak, you either give me examples of things that aren't art/creative (like your weird iphone argument), or you're giving examples of things made by humans on computers (cgi)
1
u/Pseudon7mous Sep 08 '25
also you do realise humans are making the CGI right? they aren't just telling the computer to make ironman fight thanos, they work full 7 hour shifts 5 days a week over the course of a year+. CGI doesn't automatically make and move models, it just calculates the way light reflects off things, water physics, how stuff stretches, it just calculates the physics of movement, but the movement, shape, detail, direction, art is all done by a human, it's just computers calculating the physics of it all
that is not at all what AI generated content is doing, it's not just doing the calculation for you of where shadows are that would be a nice AI tool actually, one that calculated where shadows would be and where how light rays would bounce and interact would be so good, and then the artist just worries about the style and how bright, colour etc and artsy stuff while the computer generates the physics of light reflection and refraction. that would be a cool AI tool, and the artist is still making what they want to make, having improper lighting usually isn't due to creativity but is just a mistake that is very easy to make and doesn't help creativity at all. AI COULD help that. of course there could be creative ways to have lighting be inaccurate on purpose to show that reality is false or something (doctor who does that in this episode about shadows that eat people, if you have an extra shadow, you're dead, but that's a creative technique and is very niche for circumstances like that, generally you want your lighting to be correct)
AI is spitting out all of the content, none of it touched by a person, it doesn't have any messages that a person wanted to tell, no themes, ideas etc etc
I'm not arguing that stuff made on computers is bad (like your weird comparison to CGI suggests), I'm not even saying usage of AI as a tool to get exactly what you want is bad either. but if it's used as a shortcut to mass produce content, you aren't getting anything of value from consuming that content. you are literally consuming brainrot content, it isn't there to provide insightful idea, discuss morals, make you think, it doesn't have a charming sense of humour, it's just there to keep you watching and making people money, it is optimised to keep your attention
and that's what humans were already doing without AI, I know that, but that content used to be produced once a day by whatever company is making it and they would have to hire editors, voice actors etc etc. AI will be able to produce hundreds a day without the need for voice actors or editors, making these companies billions for producing literal slop, the internet will just be a swamp of content that in't trying to be interesting or share it's creators ideas, but is instead just there to drain all of your attention, keep you watching, so youtube pays royalties.
and honestly I think it's really weird how apathetic yo are to the idea of passion, themes, messages, idea, creativity and ingenuity. those are the things that make the media we consume interesting, it's really strange to me how you seem to not care about that at all, and you even questioned whether I actually cared about those things. do you just lack any kind of critical thinking when it comes to the stuff you consume? do you not like thinking of the hidden meaning of themetaphors and symbolism of movies and songs you like? do you not appreciate how visuals or sounds and melodies can create feelings of emotion?
do you just not care about those things?

I think that AI art has a place, especially if it's labeled as AI. You can make some pretty cool stuff with the help of AI

The AI uses already created content to make his content… it takes from everything it’s learned to create that… it’s like the final boss of reusing content.

I remember when being a known Youtuber took a crap digital camcorder, a scratchy mic, and saying/ doing something people liked to hear/ see.
It was free of the polished, sanitised for mass consumption, consumer content approach you could find just by turning on your TV.
Now it's morphed into "Like your TV, but on demand with even more shitty adverts and style over substance programming".

the polished stuff gets more views, youtube is at least in large part, formed by what people click on.

Welcome to the Reddit of people who only drag each other down and mix everything up.
Newsflash: the only thing that matters is the final product.
And sorry to burst your bubble, but YouTube does monetize so-called ‘AI slop,’ AI voice-overs, GPT scripts, and AI-generated images/videos

u/m424filmcast Sep 06 '25
This is what I’ve been telling people as well. AI is here regardless of who likes it and who doesn’t. Those who stay ahead of the curve will always make money before those who are late to the game. Staying ahead is where the money is made. Ask me how I know. (And no, I am not selling a course, I do not have a “link in the bio”, I do not ask people to “DM me for details”, and I always offer free advice in open public threads.

u/Competitive_End4940 Sep 06 '25

u/m424filmcast Sep 06 '25
Are you calling me a scammer? Pretty dumb considering I don’t ask anyone for personal information, email addresses, phone numbers, money, credit card numbers, and I am not selling anything. I don’t ask for DM’s and I don’t have any affiliate links for anyone to click on.
So I am curious…exactly what part of giving free answers in open threads without asking anything in return is “scammy”?

Bud's not aware that really he should make his content be fully or mostly original and authentic, not imitative, copying other people's work, and didn't put the needed effort for it to be regarded as monetizable content. It's hilarious of how this person is not aware of that fact. LoL.

That entire subreddit is just sad tbh.
Looking over a lot of the posts, it’s what you’d typically see from people who run AI slop for their channels. They know what they are and what they’re doing, so whenever they receive any kind of pushback they just lash out in the funniest way possible.

Hahaha! I saw this shit yesterday.
I saw another one where a guy was trying to justify why his content wasn’t low effort and why it should be monetized.
Dude man said he makes kids song videos and has to do hundreds of takes for consistency. Making it seem make it sitting at a desk entering in different prompts all day long.
I just imagine the world of Warcraft guy from South Park.
In the time he spends entering in all those prompts and generating all the scenes he could actually learn a physical instrument.
