Why I don’t really care if web content is AI-generated
- I’ve noticed people taking an interest in the “small net” or “small web” because they’re fed up with the amount of material on the mainstream web which is generated by large language models (LLMs) and the like.
- They complain about “AI slop”, which I take to mean poor-quality, low-effort, unoriginal content.
- There is a lot of this kind of material on the mainstream web; it’s hard to be sure exactly how much, because authorship is often concealed.
