except blogging was good and AI slop is bad, and the fact that you don't have the critical judgment to discern the difference is not an indictment of the rest of us who, in fact, do have five or six brain cells to rub together

I'm surprised you didn't drop this old gem, but maybe you weren't old enough to know about it.

Dig up

Just because angry guys on Fox News complained about something does not mean that everyone thought blogs were bad. Some blogs were/are bad and should be ignored. But the idea of blogs is amazing and there should be more of them. Is this really confusing to the CTO of a microblogging platform?

Dawg you cited John Kass lmao this is the funniest possible way you could ever try to defend a point

Most are generally inferior to professional reporting. Some do better (s/o @popular.info), and develop sources that let them break news faster. But deep reporting takes time & ample talent.

It took you a day to continue this bullshit argument in the worst way?

Wow, a CBS news executive went on Fox News and criticized bloggers as not real journalists. I'm going to have to go ask my AI agent why a legacy media executive might not be a good source for how the average person felt about blogs at the time.

Keep posting, you're almost there

Those are all pretty different criticisms from how I’d criticize AI slop

Cool man, will videos ever work on this site or will it always crash the app?

The journalists in question were calling out the editorial process of bloggers. They weren't making the point you think they were making.

o no not guys at home on pajamas I can how this new media would threaten legacy

> 2005 > 2007 > 2009 Dawg, I was a CHILD then. I would never have EXPERIENCED what you're describing because my PC access was so limited.

Lmao. Still going? Give it up, son. Lol.

Amazing. I have no words.

What does this have to do with slop?

What's great about them, Paul? Is it the collaborative human effort that made them, or is it just the sheer volume of Content(tm) they produced? Because I really think you're missing the point.

That's professional sneering, not anti-slop. A closer equivalent today would be (solely) graphic designers or video editors talking smack about AI prompters. But we have cross-industry criticism of the entire process, from theft, through laziness, to output (and more!) that is called out as slop.
