No.

So 2026 will be the year of AI slop then.

Tough shit, Sloppysoft.

It will be called slop even more then.

I remember when Microsoft wanted to call sharing songs "Squirting".

"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication," Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as "cognitive amplifier tools." "...and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other."

There's that word 'hope' again. It seems to be the main driving force behind a.i. implementation.

Also, I think "cognitive real-time amplifier product" makes for a better acronym.

If it sounds like a duck and looks like a duck, I’m calling it a duck.

Once it stops being slop, I’ll stop calling it what it is.

If you don't want it to be slop, don't grind culture into a slurry, run half the worlds electricity through it, all for it to generate child porn. Actually fuck off.

Fascists: "We don't like to be Called fascists!"

AI companies: "We don't like our slop created from stolen content to be called slop!"

Then stop spewing slop everywhere, AI or not

Microsoft CEO slop needs to shut his sloppy AI mouth.

The "slop" refers to the flood of low quality "content". Therefore fixing people calling your stuff slop is simple, at least in theory.

It’s not the general public’s fault that AI was released before it was ready for prime time. It’s not like the word “slop” was picked out of a hat, either. AI earned the word with its laughably bad output.

I’ll make the CEO a deal, though. If AIs stop producing slop, I won’t call it slop anymore.

Microsoft Copilot is the tip of the spear for the firm, powered entirely by ChatGPT and Microsoft's savvy early investments in OpenAI.

“Savvy”? Really? I think it’s years too early to make that assessment.

Indeed, in closing, Nadella seems to admit that AI doesn't truly have "societal permission" right now, referencing widespread backlash and mockery that continues to dog the technology.

What kind of “permission” is he looking for? Permission to steal and ignore copyright? Permission to build untold numbers of data centers and do vast environmental damage? Permission to lie and sell a substandard product? He probably wants all three, and more.

So stop calling the slop slop?

Gee I dunno, maybe start by making an OS that isn’t so sloppy.

IMMA DO IT EVEN HARDER NOW

Ok, we'll call it "trash" then

Oh, the same CEO that has systematically ruined everything the company has ever made? The same CEO that does not even have a path to profit for AI? The same CEO that admitted that they don't know how their own products really work anymore? The same one?

The CEO wants us to do a thing, and based on how they are actively pushing everything towards total clown town, I think it is in our best interest to do the opposite of what that slop CEO asks.

It's hard to avoid right now, particularly if you're a user of Microsoft ecosystem products.

Solution:

Windows -> Linux
Office 365 -> Libreoffice to replace most of Office 365 and to replace Outlook consider Thunderbird or Seamonkey
Edge/Chrome -> Firefox or a fork of Firefox.

Brilliant. This will definitely work. I'm sure no one will call it slop anymore. /s

What a fuckin' idiot.

Good job, Satya, no one you pay will call it slop in front of you. That's all you accomplished, but I doubt anyone was anyway. The rest of the world will now call it slop just as often, if not more often, to spite your stupid face.

What are they going to do in 5 years when the internet is 99% slop? How will then train the models then? Will we be forever stuck with 2025-2026 models because there isnt enough new human content to train on?

and I want him to stop calling slop "AI".

MicroSlop.

May I suggest an innovative approach to this challenge that will optimize the objective of the CEO to not ascertain that his product is shit. The guillotine

Likely they realise that the more it's called slop, the more it will be rejected by customers. Similar to how if I see a Hallmark movie, I skip. Most people will learn to avoid ai. Some will be fine with it. However, probably not those with any taste or influence, not the marketers desirable audience.

I just setup a new laptop. Straight from the store, never been turned on before.

First thing in the Windows installation is a step called "something went wrong". Not even kidding.

MS is slop, with or without AI.

It’s so cool that all the richest assholes in America simultaneously fell for the same ponzi scheme and instead of figuring it out they’re spending their time trying to convince everyone else that they don’t
