I've seen several people (some I follow and regard highly) say they'd like "AI slop" labeled for convenience; or they feel they must be "on the lookout" for it.
this puzzles me. if AI content is so bad, then surely labeling isn't necessary. and some presumably find value in it.

A Patrick Stewart anecdote I’ve always loved: Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, was once asked about the decision to cast Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
