«Please, pretty please, don't call it slop. Do you have any idea how much money we sunk on this thing? Can you imagine what kind of about-face I'll have to make if this thing tanks for good? Our investors are going to cry so hard when they figure out that we lit their money in fire. So please be kind to this faceless megacorp and don't call it slop.»

Anyone who's (still) on one of the other platforms Microsoft cannot ignore to monitor should initiate the trending of #AIslop or äAIisslop .

@gabrielesvelto might have to buy a couple of those: https://newsforkids.net/articles/2025/07/17/scientists-create-worlds-tiniest-violin/

NewsForKids.net

Scientists Create World’s Tiniest Violin

Scientists at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom have created what they call “the world’s smallest violin”. The violin is made of metal and is so tiny that it can only be seen with a powerful microscope. The project was designed to test new technology for building extremely small things.

@boiga at this rate there might be enough demand of minuscule violins that we could make it a business

@gabrielesvelto "“We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella wrote..." Okay, so 'Slophistication' then. Got it.

@gabrielesvelto Slop it is. They even messed with the colors in word. The vibrant pink, gone. Loud in your face yellow, gone. Neon green, gone. Replaced with “muted tones”, yuck. The real world is bright, colorful and beautiful not slop.

@SpiritLady AI is the weaponization of average, a tool to make everything look the same, sound the same, read the same

If #AI produces #slop, then it’s #AIslop, Satya. You know! That doesn’t change in 2026. If AI predominantly produces AI slop, then it’s a #SlopMachine.

@gabrielesvelto Best thing you can do with #AI is to re-dub the classic spam sketch to say slop instead.

@gabrielesvelto Sorry, #SatyaNadella , #GenAI produces #slop. And #AI stands for ‘ #ArtificialIdiot.’ Or more colloquially, a ‘ #clanker.’

@gabrielesvelto You can't fool me. That's the Thunderbirds villain, The Hood, with fake glasses as a disguise. Call International Rescue!
