"I suggest the social action: shame. Shame these people. Their actions are shameful. AI bros hate being shamed and they try to make rules against shaming — because shame works.
None of these people doing shameful things deserve a place in polite company. They should be shamed for their shameful choices.
The AI industry is also running a PR push to redefine common word usage. The word “slop” is also super effective — so the bros really hate “slop” and try to define it to mean slop they don’t like.
But all AI output is slop. It’s social spam. That’s what it’s for. It’s slop! Say “slop” every time."

@tante It seems to me that some people’s opposition to AI is downright fanatical. It’s one thing to have silly pictures of cats doing human activities; it’s another thing to use AI to help create software, where it’s actually useful.
This black-and-white rejection of generative AI is childish.
