I'm just speaking for myself.

I'm starting to really hate the word "slop". It's such a lazy way of discussing AI content generation. I think we can all agree the "slop" produced by AI right now is (if prompted well, curated & edited), of a much higher quality than the average designer was able to produce in reasonable time before AI.

The whole point of technology, since the dawn of mankind, is to reduce the amount of human inputs, so we can focus more on what truly matters. In that sense, AI is fantastic. That doesn't mean you shouldn't just let it rip and turn off all of your own thinking and effort in editing the "slop" it creates. But I'm just getting really tired having to point that out in literally every conversation about AI. Can we just move on already, please.

> Couldn't you fork this and implement this "slop factory feature" yourself instead of asking this tool to be re-built from the ground up to cater to this?

Of course I could? What's your point? "Shut up and vibe code it yourself"?
