On loop: The Great Despair

I think the prevalence of AI slop really brings into focus how most ideas are shitty ideas.

Not always bad ideas, but shitty ones.

A bad idea will result in harm or hold something back substantially. A shitty idea is a first-draft. Unrefined, unoriginal, sauceless. A bad idea must be stopped, but a shitty idea can be improved.

Because normally if you want art you have to consider the composition, effort, expenses, techniques, etc. that will go into making it real. Then you have to assess all that and decide "is this idea worthwhile?". In this environment, most ideas that get turned into Something are ones that the author(s) believe in. Ideas that have been shifted and improved upon so the resources doesn't go to waste. Decidedly non-shitty ones.

But with gen AI people just generate whatever half-assed idea they thought up first, often publishing it as-is. No drive to improve, no perfecting the vision. Because the idea lacked passion from the outset. Sowing slop, reaping slop. Every shitty idea put on full display, wearing the rotting skinsuit of all artists from the past, monetized to hell and expected to be taken just as seriously as the non-shitty ones.

I think maybe pursuing this is a bad idea.

the sunk cost fallacy has been my favorite fallacy for as long as I can remember. so at this point it's probably too late to pick a different one

[terri-theslime13]

I just heard about the recency bias, and honestly I think it's gotta be the best one ever

[blueflyingturtleontheway]

Everyone is saying that the bandwagon effect is the best bias, so they have to be right

[embrace-of-the-cold]

I once had this one logic professor who said that appeal to authority is the best fallacy. She's an expert in logic, so she must be right.
