Likely many other, I've been grossed out by some of the shit getting churned out with generative ai. But it's also made me notice some of the existing things that give me the same feeling.

Poorly translated stuff, as often seen on cheap Chinese imports, has the same uncanny valley awkwardness. It sounds like English, but it isn't what an actual human who spoke English would say. And if we want to talk about an algorithm that's gone rogue and is destroying the world while trying to fulfill some arbitary metrics, there's always late-stage capitalism...

Anyone else notice things like this?

The documentary "Exit through the gift shop" will give you my answer better than I could.

Any of the sixteen YouTube channel narrated by Simon Whistler.

It may not be intentional slop but it's pretty much the definition of quantity over quality.

I didn’t know where you were going to go with this…and I’m confused by the rest your post.

…I was going to say everything in the Tom Clancy universe was slop.

Most songs with lyrics. One that comes to mind is a tune with the line "say what you came to say" that repeats dozens of times in 3 minutes. Dude should take his own advice and actually say something.

Cars have been a prime example, IMO, for a long while.

Oh, the screen on your center console cracked or is out of date? You can't fix it on your own and you need the dealership to do it and if they can't, you need to upgrade your vehicle because they make the vehicle almost impossible to run without it.

Want to change your oil? A well known brandnI cannot think of the name of right now needs to approve! Heated seats? I think it was BMW that planned on charging you a subscription service for that.

I'm predicting in less than a decade, if things don't change, you'll not only be selling a liver for that car, but also all your healthy organs to be able to afford the subscription service to be able to start your car.

Oh, and don't even get me started on the kids pretending to be adults who own a vehicle so damn tall that they have to climb into it using a step thing in the side. I'm talking average height or taller and no visible signs that they struggle to enter ( other than being too short ). It's like watching an entitled toddler try to walk up stairs for the first time. You can't help but pity them, or at least I can't.

Bible versions first released after 1871 (NIV, ASV, ESV, NKJV, NASB, etc.) have all become slop.
