It reads like a child who's never had a human interaction in their life and was raised by Elon Musk Stans.
AI slop is void of any creativity or originality, and the infrastructure required to make it is killing the environment at an unprecedented rate while also poisoning drinking water and driving up costs everywhere.
But hey, at least your mom got to show you Fruit Love Island on your iPad, I guess.
What do you hope to achieve with the personal attacks? You'll only make me dislike "your side" even more. It only reveals how unpersuasive your position is...if you resort to shaming and insult to bully people into your position.
You care so much about water waste and the environment...but do you eat meat?
If so...all of a sudden your "rational justifications for an ethical position you have taken without bias" cease to be coherent with your other lifestyle choices.
As for "AI Slop" [an obvious propaganda term, designed to be reductionist] and its lack of X, Y and Z: it's literally drawing on an ocean of X,Y and Z in the first place - the sum total of all X, Y and Z driven human artistic and creative endeavour.
As with so many political discussions: I suspect this one is pointless. Two sides, both alien to the other. I'm as unlikely to bring you round as you are to bring me around.
It processes information to generate new (often very beautiful) works: just like human artists.
The fact that you know this, state this, and will do this is exactly why we're doomed as a species.
If you know what your lizard brain is doing and that it's activated, at least have the good sense to not still pretend it's someone else's fault.
No.
Being a persuasive communicator and recruiting people to one's political agenda has never been a matter of pure logic and reason: going around insulting "the other side" will not work.
Not that anything would: I judge the value of X by X. X could have been made by a sandstorm: if it's beautiful it's beautiful.
A piece of music, for example, is either enjoyable or it isn't. Admittedly AI music has a way to go yet - but it's clearly already superior to a percentage of human made music.
Or it grows on you over time and expands your range as a listener.
But 🤷 you're just looking for mediocre simulacrums of art anyway, so of course you're into GenAI "art".
