Have whatever opinion you want , we're going to rapidly run into issues where certain organizations are outran by others that have more liberal policies about this kind of work. Call it slop all you want, doesn't change the unreasonable effectiveness that some individuals seem to have with such systems.
A problem with the slop coding movement is that they are happy living with wishful thinking.
I am by no means an AI/ML evangelist, but these types of posts just come off as something written by modern day luddites.
>FOSS projects like Asahi Linux cannot afford costly intellectual property lawsuits in US courts
seems quite practical and non Ludditeish.

Here's some context into what they mean by "AI slop" https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/07/14/death-by-a-thousand-s... Reading the first two vulnerability reports makes it very clear.
Except they don't mean "specific examples of AI content are slop". They unambiguously say that all uses of generative AI are slop.

To quote [1]: > Alex de Vries is a Ph.D. candidate at VU Amsterdam and founder of the digital-sustainability blog Digiconomist. In a report published earlier this month in Joule, de Vries has analyzed trends in AI energy use. He predicted that current AI technology could be on track to annually consume as much electricity as the entire country of Ireland (29.3 terawatt-hours per year). That's a lot of power, and the…
> He predicted that current AI technology could be on track to annually consume as much electricity as the entire country of Ireland (29.3 terawatt-hours per year). He didn’t though, did he? If you click through and read the report, it is quite clear in saying that this is a worst case scenario if you ignore things like it being unrealistic for Nvidia to even produce the requisite number of chips. It’s also based on…
Great so all we have to do to save the world is cull illustrators, writers and anyone else who can be replaced by AI.

Why is something ideologically driven inherently not worth taking seriously? I appreciate maybe their understanding will be more challenging to change but people don’t necessarily arrive at ideologies for unserious reasons nor do ideologies have unserious results.
Because decisions like these have to be taken purely on the basis of technical merits, not political ideology.
I really have to agree with this take. Most of what AI spits out is hot trash. This is why studies have found AI makes us code 19% slower. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/07/study-finds-ai-tools-made...

I've yet to see output from a generative AI that wasn't slop
It's hard to take opinions like that seriously and not just dismiss them as hyperbole.
