@bjoerna.althoff Achja - ich habe mal den #Sloperator gemacht und #microslop dieses "Love Wins"-Herz versuchen versucht generieren zu lassen. Kam nur #Slop bei rum.
@b00g13 @monkeyben AI bros would be so mad if we could made #Sloperator trending, too.

FTA: "If you use it, it means you’re replacing people.
People who could’ve done the job better.
People who actually did the job, and now their work is pilfered and duped."
And btw, a detail those hip and cool #librarians mostly ignore in their rush to stay hip and cool by embracing #AISlop. (e)

However I do seem to have got some plausible numbers out of it.
Oh, I hear that. I raise such questions in my library and all the "cool" librarians look at me like I am sprouting horns in my head.
They are all like, "look how easy it makes summaries, or shorten this complicated document or blah blah."
Ugh.

2. I am still going to seek out alternatives.

Word of the year. #sloperator
In junkets I can never afford and wonder how they got my email: Google is having one in Vegas for their #AISlop and #sloperator cloud tech. At about a grand, LOL, not happening for this poor librarian.

If you wonder why at times I have a low opinion of librarianship (and yes, I am a librarian), well, it's this kind of #fuckery my brethren tend to embrace because it's the cool and hip thing to do regardless of consequences.
