This is partly why I don’t worry about “LLM slop” — we had plenty of artisanal human slop before.


Artisanal human slop took time - hours, days, weeks - and some effort to produce. AI slop can be produced in seconds, minutes or hours, at the click of a button.


Creating misleading data still took effort. Now there is none needed. Slop will simply flood the zone and good content will become increasingly rare. See the problem?


Well, you can also use LLM to find issues, can't you? If it's quick to introduce an error, it's also quick to find and fix the error.


Bonus - when you ask it to find an error but there are none, it will make one up!
