People always complain about AI slop, but the fact of the matter is, even a shitty AI produces better output than what the majority of people are capable of.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Only if you're not familiar with the act of producing what the AI is trying to emulate the production of.

Yeah, just try to get the average person to write an email that's legible, concise and to the point.

Any literate person can do that? Despite the public education systems best efforts to train us all in such a manner as to overly pad everything out with an excessive quantity of superfluous filler words, many of which add nothing to the information communicated and may even continue long after the point is made.

I have terrible news for you; people are not generally literate then.

If you've ever read an AI email, they aren't capable of that either. It's a meme at this point that people use AI to write an email, which becomes far too long, and the reader uses AI to make it shorter. AI does not do concise and to the point.

That majority of people that are worse than AI slop are also not producing anything, so we're not flooded with human slop. And when they do, we're supportive because you need to practice producing bad stuff before you can start producing good stuff.

If humans produced slop at the same rate as AI, I guarantee you that everyone will be complaining about it just the same.

Any person without training is infinitely better than an AI without training data.

A person without training data world be a blathering idiot. Any word you've ever heard, anything you've ever seen, smelled or otherwise perceived is data that was used to train the neural network in your head. And that's not counting the billions of years it took to hardwire the hardwired bits.

A human with no experience in the field is liable to recognise that fact and start asking questions, showing doubt and learning. That's infinitely better than spewing incorrect bullshit.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

yeah but I don't hire those people

Your concept of human being is questionable.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

What do you mean? Are you saying stupid people aren't real human beings?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

I'm seriously questioning what you consider good, then. That's the reason people call it "slop". It's not good.
