The story
“you’re happiest when you make me sadder” — JADE, “Natural at Disaster”
slop, slop, slop. sounds like a poem doesn’t it? but really, it’s a word i constantly hear for ai-generated content. i always think to myself that there is good slop and bad slop, but now, i guess ai slop is just…slop.
ai slop is all over the internet, and people just shit all over it like it’s their problem. news headlines use it, twitter users use it, the comments section uses it. merriam-webster declares it as word of the year. i’m so sick of hearing that term from whoever uses it, be it an anti or a news outlet.
along my 99 problems as a synthographer, this is one of them. i generate beautiful anime stuff with ai, write character descriptions for them, make posters with it, all that stuff. yet they’ll simply dismiss it as “slop”, even if i just generate a guy or girl with cat ears.
i can’t even shake off that comment who told me to “go fuck yourself ai slop trash.” that was few months ago, yet why is it still lingering here with me?
slop, slop, slop…the more i hear it, the more i see it, the more i feel sick, tired, and angry. i guess my friend was right. all these comments let’s me offend me. maybe that’s why i can’t move on from them. have i been online too much? do i have to say “i’m supposed to be an adult, but fuck it, i need a minute” again? are they even happy when they make me sad? when will things get better again?

Man, I totally get where you're coming from. It's like, sometimes it feels like people just love to hate on stuff without even giving it a fair shot, you know? I honestly think it's kind of cool that you're creating those anime characters and posters, even if some folks don't appreciate the work behind it. Hang in there; keep doing what makes you happy.
slop or not, dude, you're creating something out of nothing and that's more than these trolls are doing; focus on the passion you have for your work because at the end of the day, haters gonna hate regardless.
god, it's wild how people act like they're superior critics when they probably have no clue what goes into creating anything?? using ai isn't some crime against humanity; it's just another tool, like photoshop or whatever. we live in a world where everyone thinks their opinion matters more than facts!! i’d say, remind yourself why you started doing this stuff... cuz you enjoy it, right? so screw the noise and keep generating your art; those who get it will appreciate it!!
