“… #thefeed was #slop before any machine got involved. Slop is just what you get when everyone consumes and nobody creates, and the cure is #peoplemakingthings again, which #AI is unusually good at enabling. That’s about the most anti-slop thing I can imagine. A companion you talk to and shape and argue with will do more for you than a celebrity you watch from across the internet, because one of them is a thing you make and the other is a thing that happens to you. It’s the difference between putting on an autogenerated Spotify playlist and making somebody a mixtape. A mixtape is you, smuggled into another person’s afternoon.”
