Can you give us one example of something which does suffer from slop's massive bloat of wordage and vapid breathless formulations but is still useful as is?

Yeah, certainly. Just asked a bunch of questions yesterday to ChatGPT about 3d printing since I bought one without knowing much about them, then had it generate a few STLs that I used for spacing some hexagonal acoustic dampening felt tiles I hung today.

Also did a bit of back and forth planning for a little web app that I could experiment with different tile layouts since I had a few colors. Then it made the app and it was very handy.

I asked if a few questions about the hexagon layout too since it was interesting.

All very useful slop exactly as it was.
