AI slop reflects the human, not the AI.
Bad AI output is not always proof that AI is bad; it often says more about the person who accepted and published it.
I think people are drawing the wrong conclusion from AI slop.
They see bad AI content and say: look how bad AI is.
For that content to have reached you, a person had to look at it and decide: yes, this is good enough to publish.
So yes, AI can generate bad work. But bad AI work is shaped by what a human put in, what they accepted, and what they chose to release.
The output tells you more about the person using it than it does about AI itself.
Do not mistake other people's output for the ceiling AI can help you achieve.
