Seriously I’ve seen AI slop like 5 times today, some of it transparently AI slop, but a lot of it was trying to hide the fact that it’s AI slop. Why do people post this even though it’s not wanted?

Normalization
The more its done, the more people see it, then the more average people will go out and share it and even generate them themselves.
I’m sure this first generation of slop we’re seeing is probably majority generated by bots and automated services but eventually it will be done by people who have normalized this behaviour.
It’s like manicured green grass lawns … nobody really wants them, they’re a pain and they serve no purpose … but if you market them enough and spread them around a city and convince people that they are needed, then everyone normalizes it and green manicured lawns become a normal necessary part of society.
De Beers did it with diamond engagement rings as well.
Learning that diamonds are actually kind of common and wouldn’t be worth nearly as much if not for De Beers was a slap in the face harder than discovering quicksand wouldn’t be as much of an issue in my adult life as cartoons I saw as a kid made me think.
