Could be, I've seen a weird trend of using AI to write content when it doesn't make sense. Sure, using it to write a blog post about a topic is "slop" but I can see arguments for it. Using it to improve thoughts you have in your head, by making up details and add emojis however, I can't understand.

For example as a heavy FB Market place user I see a lot of stuff like:

[picture of an iPhone 12]

- iphone 14 - new battery - delivers to [enter your state here] - comes with [enter accessories it comes with]

Like they were too lazy to even fill in the brackets or ensure some level of accuracy. What's the point?

That's a problem that was solved in the 1980s with the introduction of "mail merge" functionality in word processors. Using an LLM to do this is like using a sledgehammer to swat a fly.
