My AI slop moment
My AI slop moment

After months of hearing people complain about "AI slop", today I finally got it. I was searching for jazz music on youtube and hundreds of videos popped up, all sounding the same. Mellow, muted fake music. All made with AI and all uploaded within the past 3 weeks or so. So then I realized I needed to search for music made before AI took over in order to get any actual... well, music. So I searched for "coffee shop jazz 2018". Same stuff popped up, all uploaded in the past 3 weeks. So I went to the filter and of course, the longest you can look back now is one year. So there it was, my Orwellian moment with AI slop.
