On Trump's increasing use of A.I.

Slop is the term given to A.I. output that is senseless, absurd, and often not based in reality. Some might say all A.I. output is slop. I wouldn't go that far, but the adjectives I use above is how I would generally characterize it.

While many people worry about A.I. replacing their jobs, particularly writers, creatives, and artists–many of whose work helped train these models–the President of the United States is embracing A.I. slop.

Peter Baker writers this interesting article in The New York Times looking at Trump's increasing use of A.I. slop to portray himself as a grandiose warrior, and to portray the world as he would like to see it, not the way it actually is.

Was this worth your time?
