    Microsoft wants people to stop calling AI content slop. People want Microsoft to stop pushing slop.

    I predict nobody will get what they want.

    I care about what Microsoft wants about as much as Microsoft cares about what I want.

    So the bubble has reached the desperation phase already?

    “We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella wrote in a rambling post flagged by Windows Central, arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the “new equilibrium” of human nature.

    I’m starting to notice a recent trend in tech CEOs. They seem to be saying “yes, we know you hate it but too bad get used to it”.

      That’s definitely not a modern trend. That’s what they always say when people don’t like their decisions. Unless there’s a board of directors with their hand up the CEO’s ass parroting the appology for them, they will never admit wrongdoing.

      They’re narcissistic pieces of shit. All of them.

    Typical corporate bullshit, trying to hog all the credit.

    How about if we call it MicroSlop? That way everyone associates Microsoft with AI slop, which is what they’re becoming. They should want to promote their commitment to AI, right?

    MicroSlop it is. Let’s all help them with their crowd-sourced rebranding!

      Now now, let’s save some of that vitriol for the rest of these tech clowns. Microslop are not the first nor the only rich pieces of shit pushing for this stuff.

        Yeah, but this is the guy trying to silence us at the moment, and the label fits so well. We can still add slop to every other brand name, too. MicroSlop doesn’t have a trademark on it.

        Or maybe they do. If I were them, I’d trademark it and get the domain name, just to keep anybody else from using it against me. Hmm, brb…

        Yep, someone already got it, and it’s not Microsoft.

          ohhhh hopefully they’re as pissed off at AI as they should be. That’d be great for it to become a parody of some sort… Especially if it were a strong satire of their main website to the point where it’d confuse old people and others that fall for phishing scams. Make it look identical to MS except for all the obviously ‘generated’ text and images…

          Then the more you confuse people and the more attention it gets, the better. Not only will the confused think MS is really misusing machine ‘learning’, but if you ended up sued by MS because idiots got confused over the obvious satire… oh man, that’d be a glorious court case.
