Woe is Wired.

They are whining that there is, like, so much “slop” on the Internet now. They mean AI slop. They ignore all the human slop that was there from day one.

They forgot about Mirsky’s Worst of the Web.

This diatribe is simply one that actually says, “I hate the Internet because there are other points of view I don’t like and not everyone is paying attention to me, and they would rather read something AI generated than my opinion.”

As an author and researcher, I have always had to sift through the Internet, but I also had to do it for academic articles (most are dreadful), books, interviews, and news reports (most are dreadful).

That’s the nature of the beast. You want to find gold or diamonds, you better be ready to dig.
