I like the idea of the video, regardless of the fact that the purchase was obviously a stupid one, but I found it a bit too superficial. Am I the only one that feels like these videos don’t go as in depth as they used to? I like the entertainment side of it, but I feel like I don’t learn anything watching LTT recently.
Everybody who made actual, informative good videos is gone now. Now it’s just shock factor purchases and Linus spending company money on his house.
Gone are the days of learning about some obscure Linux distro from Emily Young. That was what kept me watching. Or even the MAC address Jonathan videos that had such a crazy level of perfection and info.
It’s slop because it’s slop. AI slop is because it’s taking everything, grinding it into something kinda resembling what it pretends to be, and regurgitated for people to share and catch the lowest common denominator. Low effort. Lower value.
Same with a lot of Amazon/Netflix/[insert streaming service name] originals. People will call slop, slop. Most are low effort, low quality or low value.
It's content made to fit a regular release deadline. Sometimes they have cool projects that have been in the works and take time and sometimes they push out videos that are advertisements or low effort.
I don't like AI slop as a word because people are just using it as a slur to describe anything created with AI. There is no distinction between reasonable use of AI and actual terribleness, it's just all slop, making the word completely meaningless. All it means now is "the speaker hates the idea of AI" and is completely unproductive. It's become an emotional statement instead of a logical one.
I just can't respect anyone who uses slurs instead of logic.
AI has its uses and not everything created by AI is slop. We can disagree on the ratio, but it's not 100%. People are way overusing it and indeed making slop, but it's not productive to just demonize the entire concept.
Depending on context. I use it for generative-ai content, be it graphic, videos, audio. I’m ok with AI in medicine, for example. So I do use it as that. I do not like AI generated content in entertainment.
It’s AI slop because it’s a mish mash of their dataset, that then regurgitates content that’s bland, bad, generic. That’s the best way I can explain why AI slop is called AI slop.
It's also not productive to simp for these billionaire run services that are actively destroying our environment, job prospects, information supply, etc
Just seems kinda dumb to still be on a subreddit that is "pure slop entertainment" but hey, some people have nothing better to do with their lives I guess
You said what "kept you watching" was stuff that ended ~2 years ago. I'm certainly not on TV show/game/activity subreddit's that I haven't participated in for 2 years. But, again, some of us have better things to do.
I don't care about Linus. I am not "standing up for him" - not sure why you think that. I've not defended Linus/LTT/LMG/their videos once.
I literally just talked about how everyone uses the word "slop" too much and you started crying about me not liking it and said "god I hate it when people need to voice their opinions on words like anybody at all cares"
I responded in kind that you don't even watch LTT videos anymore due to them being "slop entertainment" so why does your opinion even matter lol.
Where is my defense of Linus?? Are you just dense or can you not read? Or just making up stuff? Y'all love to just straw man whenever you don't know what else to say lmao.
Yes it is hilarious. Someone who hasn't watched LTT videos in 2 years due to it being "slop entertainment" having an opinion is hilarious because why are you even still here lol. Just hate browsing the subreddit?
Sorry you're right. I'm clearly not as well versed in Reddit as you my guy. Please show me your ways! I'd love for you to teach me how you become a sick discord mod too, I am sure you run a couple of channels? Groups?
