You mean I shouldn't replace every instance of Ai in my sentences with slop?.
The funny thing is, I just did.

MODERATORS
The statement is probably true, but the only quote in the article that mentions “slop” doesn’t really support the headline’s claim:
”We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as "cognitive amplifier tools." ”...and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other.”
The article makes a lot of solid points about the AI hype bubble that Nadella is promoting in his year-end LinkedIn post, but it doesn’t seem like he was actually calling for people to stop using the term “slop.”

Microslop. There, see, I did it.
Latest version of FireFox already uses AI for tab suggestions. Privacy concern much?
Hang on everybody… I have to think about this. I think maybe I wanna do what he says. I mean, he's gotta be a genius cause he's a ceo, so how could his advice (demands) be wrong?
He's right. AI bullshit is fucking magic.
Too god damn bad.
Slop is slop, but now I'll be less critical in my evaluation of AI output and more willing to call something slop I might not have otherwise. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No problem, I can be nice.
Let's help him and call it bubble.
the Barbar.ai Slopiand effect.
I bet they'd like me stop calling windows shit too. Not gonna happen
Oh, I guess we'll call it AI crap then.
Cool, he can push it more to PCs and make me happier with my Macs. (Our computers at work run Windows 11 Enterprise, they miss a lot of this shit. A recent update blocked Copilot and I'm okay with that.)
That said, I fucked around a bit with Copilot at work and I think it's interesting? I don't trust it but I've asked it a few dumb questions when I was bored.
Shit it is.
Microsoft is slop
Dude just needs to admit he loves slop like the greedy little piggy he is.
Slop.
~~He’s not my boss~~
Yeah, well I want the Microsoft CEO to stop calling slop "AI".
I made a garbage generator, and ppl won't stop calling the stuff it generates garbage. :'(
Too bad. It is slop. All versions of it are crappy, stupid, and give erroneous answers to even the most obviously simple questions.
