Slopwatch: Slow Day for LLM Slop, Serial Sloppers Still at It in Their Slopfarms
Only a handful (5) new examples today
A Serial Slopper (SS) is a person who is a fake author but still a real person. A Serial Slopper does not produce anything original, instead prompting LLMs to make a fake portfolio of fake articles, typically piggybacking or riding the coattails of honest writers who actually research things and then write about them. What takes the most time is not the writing/typing; it is the research, i.e. the reading/learning. The Serial Sloppers would rather skip all that. They're copypasta BS artists. They're like online con men. Sometimes con women.

The Serial Slopper Brian Fagioli, riding or overriding the work of other people: (googlebombing the same topics that they cover)
In Google News this afternoon:
All the above are fake articles. They pollute the Web and sometimes they become the inputs of future LLM training iterations, i.e. they feed future outputs.
The Web would be better off if those sites went offline. █
