tbh i genuinely believe that people doing shit like breaking down narrative media into constituent "tropes" and actively pursuing media based around if it fulfills their preferred tropes and showing that you can market a work purely on it fulfilling those tropes was a precursor for AI slop media

the difference between science fiction and fantasy is that science fiction is about magic and the mystical and emotions whereas fantasy is about hard mathematical science and rules and stat systems

I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Here's the reality this example illustrates:
It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

I'd really appreciate if writers these days took a look at their characters doing therapyspeak and whether that's appropriate for their work and their world.
By "therapyspeak" I mean speaking like this: "This is the emotion I'm feeling, and feeling that emotion makes me want to act in a way"

i would posit that a society where even governors use the phrase "touch grass" in a public statement and expect to be understood cannot in fact log off. offline may as well be the lost garden of eden
Utah Governor Spencer Cox: “Social media is a cancer right now. I would encourage you all to log off, be with your family, and touch grass.”

Gladwell has always been the quintessential charlatan, using his capacity as a storyteller to worm his way into the hearts (and wallets) of bored audiences eager to hear that there's one cool trick that could unlock the truth of the world. Still, turning on trans ppl in an hour of need is a new low.

the -slop suffix technically has a meaning but it is so context dependent as to be irrelevant. it can be ironic or sincere, endearing or derogatory, possessive or descriptive and applied to literally any word you can think of
