Someone has to stop giving these sloppyjoes the clicks, because then they’ll stop making slop.

They are uninterested in the content they just want the clicks.

If a doctor just slops a diagnosis that results in malpractice via “hallucination” then people will stop going to them.

Will you continue to use that dangerous doctor just for the sake of your misguided principle?

What a weird interpretation of what I said.

Obviously I mean a competent doctor that uses AI-assistance in a responsible manner, not a dangerous doctor that commits malpractice.


It’s helpful to examine extremes to see where your logic breaks down.

You are assuming a “competent” blogger even in the face of a slop banner.

How will you know the doctor is competent? All you know is they give sloppy diagnoses.

How will the op know the blog writer is competent?

Their metric is “if they use slop at the top of their blog it’s a waste of their time to investigate further”.


Not sure if you mean me but I wasn't interested in clicks when writing this article. In fact, I was getting thousands of clicks and comments on Medium and now I get almost none because I deleted all my articles there. I wasn't making money either. So, not about clicks. I'm just genuinely concerned about the future of life on this planet.
