It's not name-calling to call the guy who created the ArtCraft suite... the guy who created the ArtCraft suite. And it's not a "swipe" to point out that someone who uses AI assistance to such an extent would have a very different view of the word "slop" than someone who doesn't, and so that they might not be a great judge of whether the word "slop" is seen as a "joke".
Calling others' viewpoints "jokes" is pretty damn abrasive, by the way. Quite a bit less kind than anything I've said here, in my humble view. But you're entitled to your view, obviously.
> that doesn't mean a whole lot coming from someone who's all in on the slop train
so this was not meant to be an insult / ad hom?
calling anything with genai involvement slop, irrespective of their actual quality, is not intentionally negatively generalizing?
i'm not sure who are you trying to convince.
