What part of that is inconsistent with what I said? Over a long period of time, including 20 years ago, the trajectory of cultural value has been going from consistency to usually acceptable but at least it's cheap. It wasn't started by AI but slop is the next stop.
I'm saying the experience sucked back then, too. I don't see it as worse, frankly.
There have always been things that sucked. The difference, in my mind, is that we now dismiss the idea quality ever existed, an impossible hypothetical.
