More Important Than Ever Before To Write Without AI

Published: May 27, 2026

AI Slop Is Everywhere

AI slop is everywhere now. It has permeated all the places I frequently visit on the web. Reddit, Hacker News, and all social media platforms are inundated with heaps of slop. I no longer frequent instagram, twitter, or any of the main stream social media applications. Ads and slop are too embedded for me to care to sift through to find the few good commentaries worth interacting with. I retreated to reading mostly specific subreddits of interest and Hacker News but now there's a ton of slop there too. Now I'm thinking, man, I'm better off just reading books that were written before AI. And then I paused to think about that. Holy shit. Pre-AI articles/books/media is a gold mine. Untouched by slop. I really need to start writing & creating stuff completely without the use of AI. There's a gold mine in that kind of content as we descend more and more into the chasm of slop (#tokenmaxxing). Perchance.

Ok so what am I going to write about

I have no idea. I think making some kind of newsletter completely devoid of AI would be refreshing. Cool idea. Maybe have some hand drawn illustrations also devoid of AI. more interesting. Maybe feature works from others with no AI intervention. Baby we got a stew going. But realistically, this just sounds like a social media platform pre AI. Bingo? AI slop should be filtered out, because AI slop has no taste. Or does it? This is all too confusing. I guess its up to the user using AI to make content with taste. And this is where we are headed, those who have taste using AI will be 10x taste developers? I guess? Idk. I think the real truth might be a medium between the extremes. Those who continue to generate AI slop will get attention from those who believe in the message. Like if slop said how cool I am, I am totally buying in. But then what's the difference between AI slop and Hollywood gossip blogs. People were reading Hollywood gossip blogs well before AI. So really in my mind, slop hasn't changed much about the internet, its just increased the volume of slop generated, but maybe also the volume of good things generated too? Perchance.

Ok All I Really Know Is That It Really Is Important To Continue To Put Out High Quality Non-AI Content

Ok cool so that just takes us all back to the "pre-AI" square one. Nothings really changed in that taste still is king. Not that I'd know anything about that.
