I try to avoid it, and do some checks where I can't but some stuff still trickles through given how much I post.

While I agree with your stance in the broadest terms, I think you're fighting a losing battle, just given how fast slop can be turned out and how wide spread it is already.

I get your point, and honestly, it's a fair one. I'm not pro slop, and I state that above.

By inundating the web with slop, AI proponents have made it really hard to post/share stuff that's not slop.

I am, however, a shtiposter. I've got 4500 posts over 3.3 years. I'm simply not going to verify everything I post isnt AI. As I said, I do check usually, but theres a lack of tools to do so, and the ones that are out there that I've found are checks notes AI, which defeats the purpose. If you have good tools, paste them here and I'll start using them. I'm not going on a fucking Goose hunt each time I share a meme, though.

Nah, ignore the slop and fuck the slopslingers. I appreciate the slop police because it can be hard to tell sometimes, and being made aware an image is slop can help me get better at identifying it myself in the future. Also people who post slop need to be told that it fucking sucks, because if I wanted to see garbage with no emotion, I'd just watch Fox News, because at least those robots used to have souls

No, the police are necessary. AI rot causes actual damage to both people and the environment.
