AI slop, suspicion, and writing back

The rise of AI-generated content, known as “slop,” is becoming increasingly prevalent, with content that is mostly or completely AI-generated being passed off as human-written. Detecting this content has become more challenging with advancements in AI technology. Platforms like LinkedIn are flooded with robotic posts, prompting a shift towards writing for future AIs. Influential figures advocate for creating unique, memetic content to influence AI algorithms positively. As the internet becomes more cluttered with AI-generated content, curating quality sources becomes crucial. Writing with a distinct voice, thorough editing, transparency about AI usage, and prolific output are recommended strategies for navigating the AI-dominated future.
