- AI is both eliminating jobs and creating new ones where humans clean up AI-generated content.
- AI-generated content, termed 'AI slop', is often low-quality, lacking originality and substance.
- AI slop includes text, images, videos, and even music, flooding platforms like social media and Amazon.
- The rise of AI slop leads to misinformation, cultural degradation, and environmental costs.
- Humans are increasingly hired to fix AI errors in writing, design, coding, and video production.
- Freelance platforms show growing demand for human creativity to refine AI outputs.
- The irony: AI was meant to replace humans but instead creates menial cleanup jobs.
- The solution lies in integrating human judgment with AI, not relying on AI alone.
- The biggest tragedy would be normalizing AI slop and forgetting human-made quality.
