Kinda makes sense that the people you see getting the most out of it aren’t particularly “impressive” when a lot of its practical utility is in fairly mundane office and middle-management work, no?
But even fairly modest productivity gains multiplied across millions of workers can have enormous consequences.
Whether or not those workers will actually see any financial benefits out of it is a different question entirely.
OK instead of slop I’ll say anything they put in writing is less accurate and more verbose. It may be faster for them to do to it but any gain is canceled out then multiplied by the number of people having to parse through it… Or I could say slopified and anyone that has actually experienced it will know what I mean.
You looked at the amount of solar the world has implemented over the last couple of years to compensate though?
Or how fast a unit of work has been getting exponentially cheaper over very short spaces of time?
You’re not unreasonable in glancing at the situation and seeing Doom, dont get me wrong, but if you do more than glance there is a more positive picture forming.
Of course, political reform will be crucial or we’re fucked either way.

Trust me… middle managers using LLMs are not doing anything but throwing slop everywhere
What were they doing before?
The good ones? Nothing that benefits from LLMs and isn’t made worse by being slopped up.
Imo, they’re just doing the same shit slightly faster.
Slop is a thought-terminating buzzword, you’re relying on it too heavily to make your point and it undermines you.

Good yes finally! We need to burn the planet for modest productivity gains.

So business created inefficient ways of working then pat themselves on the back when they come up with an expensive shortcut?
Or you know, office processes are the problem.
Oh, I think we both know the answer to that question.
