You’re right, it just sucks. I don’t care how much AI anyone uses. It’s not that it’s “AI” slop, it’s slop. In this day and age we are almost certain AI was involved, but it has little to do with the criticism. It’s just a few short years ago we assume this kind of crap wouldn’t make it to the front page on the regular.
And the criticism isn’t even that it is off… things that are off can have artistic or entertainment value. This doesn’t. It’s just screams laziness.
