The Register's Slopfest
2 days ago: The Register MS Has Begun Using Slop Images | This morning: The Register MS gets Lazy, Uses Slop
Right now: (slop images)
Management of The Register MS (i.e. Microsoft boosters) may be failing to realise it. Maybe it's in denial. Adopting slop isn't about "embracing innovation" but rather about devaluing the site. Throwing slop out there or sprinkling articles with slop images makes The Register MS seem not just like a paid booster of the "AI" Ponzi scheme (which is what it is) but also a participant in this entire "****show".
Remember when The Register UK (yes, UK) had better standards? Even some text is already LLM slop, according to slop detectors. █
