Nobody that actually understands the market right now would say that

There is absolutely AI slop out there. Many companies rushed to add AI, a glorified chat bot to their existing product, and have marketed it as AI.

There is also absolutely very tasteful products that add value using LLM and other more recent advancements.

Both can exist at the same time.

Pretty sure HN has become completely detached from the market at this point.

Demand for AI anything is incredible high right now. AI providers are constantly bouncing off of capacity limits. AI apps in app stores are pulling incredible download numbers.

Sora's app has a 4.8 rating on the app store with 142K rating. It seems to me that the market does not care about slop or not, whether I like it or not.

I understand it as the market wanting more content about competing in an AI world

The market wants a lot more high quality AI slop and that's going to be the case perpetually for the rest of the time that humanity exists. We are not going back.

The only thing that's going to change is the quality of the slop will get better by the year.
