    The problem is that bad coders and artists sometimes become good coders and artists. You’re killing off the pipeline by removing their source of income, and eventually you have few -to-no good coders or artists.

      “Whereas, in the past, the expense and scarcity of manuscripts had ensured that great care was always taken over the preparation of texts, the ease with which books could now be printed — coupled with the intense competition between presses — had led to all manner of rubbish being churned out. These days, Filippo argued, you could hardly open a volume without it being festooned with errors. This clearly did immense damage both to classical scholarship and to education. By putting such defective texts into the hands of the masses, he claimed, even those who could barely speak the vernacular would feel qualified to teach Latin.”

        AI slop is an order of magnitude worse.

        Now, all someone needs to do is give a four-sentence prompt, and it can be expanded into a twenty-page essay. It is essentially an attack on human attention… it still takes you twenty minutes to read the essay that only really is about that four-sentence prompt. The information density is intentionally diluted to ridiculous levels.

        At least someone had to make the effort to write those cheap texts.

          Next we’ll have commoners thinking they can learn Latin, I mean make art without paying a highly qualified team of peasants to do the grunt work for them.

          God forbid poor people have access to something. One of them might make something I don’t like! There is no magnitude worse, slop has been slopping for thousands of years. You all just circle jerked yourself into the opposite of ai psychosis.
