Everyone malding about "AI slop" would have been out protesting when electric lights put lamplighters out of business, or when cars did a number on horses.
Its a new technology, and as always, the tool is exactly as good as the man wielding it.
It's just a convenient short hand for purely AI generated and (hopefully) human edited content, in contrast to blended or AI assisted content. The slop is a semi-ironic way to show you don't have a stick up your ass or chip on your shoulder about it, and also an acknowledgement that there is a lot of garbage out there currently so the default presumption of quality level is just "no". Obviously I think it has value since I shared it, and I'm not here sharing any of the modern traditionally produced mainstream garbage singing its praise.
I don't think I'm alone in using it that way either, given that they named one of their own other projects Cream of the Slop.
It's good because he's not just putting in a prompt, he's putting in hundreds of prompts and then editing them all together in a finished product. Watch closely and you can see there are cuts to sync it up to the beat of the music, the AI can't do that.
Yeah, this guy get it. You can't just go "AI: make me a based music video with a goth baddie", you actually have to plan the whole thing, thumbnail specific scenes, proofread lyrics, rework stuff, clean up or redo problem sections etc, etc.
Basically, AI let's anyone be the writer/director but that's still a ton of work.
I describe it as 'a magic paintbrush' - it paints the picture, you still have to decide if the picture is what you want, and how to frame it, literally or figuratively.
Difficult to call this slop when it has about 100 hours of manual work behind it, but I hear you. I'm completely fine with individuals in their basements being able to protest with counter-propaganda using professional-quality AI tools.
Edit: I also think this kind of work will be at the fore of a new, trendy AI-esque aesthetic that embraces the uncanny valley differences between prompts. This guy is a pioneer in more ways than one.
Nobody, I am mean nobody, expects the Spanish Inquisition
It is a Monty Python tribute, being British and all
Skyebrows does incredible work.
This, Home Stallone II, NVIDIA, Elon's Musk, and Cream of the Slop are all amazing.

The "artists" that screech the loudest would have said the same thing about photoshop when it first started getting good.
AI Slop is just new sonic OC donut steel except it's not contained on a single art website.

Could have done without 30% of it being upskirt but good otherwise.
Yeah, the guy definitely embraces that gooner life, but the song and memery are shockingly good for a one-man-and-a-prompt production.

No, I approve of that. It makes all the right people mad.

Definitely better than any of the dogshit featured in the Grammys
It really is sad how far Britain has fallen
