It’s not complicated - the default style signals low effort. Why should I get excited about the village fete if the organizers put in the barest minimum of effort?
But there’s another reason it drives people crazy - it’s low effort trying to present as high effort. If the sign was simple Comic Sans then it would at least be charmingly honest.
This week, I created a video for a personal project using AI.
And, as the creator, I honestly can not say if it's "slop or not."
So I created a "behind the scenes" page that shows the process I went through before final cut, warts and all. You can find it at <a href="https://alexisrondeau.me/mosey-site/making-of/" rel="nofollow">https://alexisrondeau.me/mosey-site/making-of/
Do you think this helps you decide if it's slop or not?
Gotcha, that makes sense. Thank you very much for the feedback.
I asked Claude to go through all the previous committee, the chat history and the 100 or so intermediate assets and create a timeline of sports assemble the current page as you see it.
It's AI-generated as are the assets, the process and decisions depicted are human.
And still you're reaction is "it's slop". Noted!
Yup! Sorry to not reply sooner. I took all y'all's feedback in and decided to replace all of it. You can now read the full, UNREDACTED conversation. Now there's zero AI-generated page-filler, just raw input/outputs.

The text on the page sounds really AI written so I can see why people think it’s slop.

My question still remains: Slop or not?a
