No, There is Nothing Impressive About Slop Plagiarism-Enabled, Computer-Generated Images in Your Web Site...
If anything, they demonstrate your lack of respect to original works; and your works, too, might be fake (including texts made by LLMs)
Slop images are not AI. Plagiarism by fusion would be a more suitable term for them, as they synthesise new images by mix-and-matching other people's original works.
When you detect a site with slop images in it (this is actually not too hard!) you can almost assume or infer that the text is also slop. It's not always the case, but in more and more cases it is. Slop images are bad optics, as Dr. Andy Farnell put it last year.
One positive aspect of slop images is that they've become somewhat of an easy-to-spot footprint in fake Web sites, composed by LLMs. Many are 100% slopfarms. If the authors are too lazy to use real images, what are the chances of them being eager to actually type anything?
Similarly, regarding people who use slop images in their blogs, why assume they write their own blogs? Or their own E-mails? Or their own Git commits, if for instance they produce code? Heck, why assume any of their code isn't slop? Do you even want such people in your team/project/company?
When people use slop they do not broadcast an embrace of innovation; they merely signal they're lazy, unethical, and unscrupulous. If people say they use "AI" for coding, it either means they cannot code (well) or are too dishonest. Their so-called 'code' would also pose legal trouble/risk. █
