AI slop is everywhere. So is human slop. The difference is that we’ve convinced ourselves that spending 40 hours producing garbage is more respectable than producing it in 40 seconds.

The people who think AI is destroying human creativity have a very strange definition of creativity. Apparently, having an idea isn’t enough. You also have to suffer through the execution for it to count.

"But if AI does everything, what's left for humans?" What an unbelievably depressing question. As if the entire purpose of human existence was to perform economically valuable labor. As if spending 40 years answering emails, processing invoices, debugging software and sitting in meetings was the pinnacle of civilization. We invented machines to escape physical labor. We invented computers to escape repetitive calculations. Now we're inventing intelligence to escape cognitive labor. And somehow people have convinced themselves that this is a tragedy. I don't want humanity to spend the next thousand years finding new ways to keep everyone employed. I want humanity to reach a point where employment is no longer a prerequisite for survival. Why is that such a controversial ambition?
