I feel like a large part of it is that a lot of AI slop is still in the uncanny valley. The uncanny valley has been shown to create a massive negative emotional reaction in people. You don't want to trigger that reaction while trying to sell people something.

    That's part of it. For me, AI signals low effort. I can see computer generated slop anywhere. It's completely ignorable. Human stuff, in this age of isolation, brings me joy. I love janky, hand made stuff because there's a human element to it.

    Naw, AI is literally corpo bland. It can't be interesting and unique, cause it can't take chances.

    If everything is the same boring AI garbage, it'll just blend into the background.

    Good marketing has to be interesting and stand out. LLMs are the opposite of that.
