    Its basically the same thing with the NFT fad of a few years ago - NFT “art” is just as soulless and hollow as any piece of AI slop spewed out onto the Internet nowadays, but that didn’t register to the capital-brained filth who were attracted to them like flies to shit.

    I’d argue that NFT “art” was an early form of AI slop, since most NFT collections were “procedurally generated”, ie, an algorithm took a set of base image components and remixed them to generate tens of thousands of different images of racist monkeys or whatever.

    The fact that Trump’s 2024 collection of AI slop was, in retrospect, the last dying gasp of the NFT fad, is just so fitting. One massive scam passing the torch to another.
