I agree.

This week, I created a video for a personal project using AI.

And, as the creator, I honestly can not say if it's "slop or not."

So I created a "behind the scenes" page that shows the process I went through before final cut, warts and all. You can find it at https://alexisrondeau.me/mosey-site/making-of/

Do you think this helps you decide if it's slop or not?

You might be a little too close to the work to judge, but to me it still looks off. I suppose I might not immediately think it was AI, but there's something not quite human about it. The video contents are a little too sterile and clean, lacking character. The room is quite empty and the composition doesn't cause me to focus on any one thing. That said, you could probably improve a bit of it with some prompting.

The making-of post itself also is clearly LLM generated, probably by Claude, judging by the language used.

I have to agree with @fleshdaddy. The explainer page itself looks like slop. I haven’t seen the original project but I’m afraid this makes me less interested, not more.

I mean this page kind of looks like AI slop. If that’s the case, making more slop explaining how you made the original slop seems…misguided.

Love this. This is exactly the dilemma I had with fiction I had created with AI. Am my I the author? Did I just commission it? Something in between?

So now I don't say. I show my workings and the reader can decide. And to be poncey, I made a manifesto. https://kladde26.org/
