    Being “good with it” doesn’t negate the overwhelming harms it causes. Those harms are part of the slop: environmental slop, work environment slop, societal degradation slop.

      Didn’t say “good with it”, I said "being good*.

      5 years ago the complaint was people copy pasting from stack overflow without care. Those people now push without care.

      Throwing around the word slop just devalues it.

      Slop has a meaning and it does NOT equal harm.

      The invention of electricity also did a tremendous amount of harm. Should we have also just tried to put it back in its box?

        Electricity allows us to perform otherwise impossible logistics, medical care, heating, countless beneficial technologies, and longer operation hours in industry.

        Without AI… what? More jobs, cheaper utilities, lower polution? In the future it might be able to lie to you sightly more efficiently while funneling control of industry into the hands of a dozen wealthy elites.
