If they weren't producing things that are indistinguishable from human produced products people wouldn't be against them.

On the contrary the reason people are against them is that the things produced are distinguishable from human created products. E.g. pushback against "slopification."

The pushback against "slopification" is an ad hoc justification that is nebulous and vague enough for people to use to feel superior about their opinions and ideas, but has no genuine grounding.

But even if we consider the slopification argument, don't factories produce slop as well? Fast fashion is notorious for producing slop. But at the same time factories also produce are cars, shovels, housing, screws, etc. are they "slop"? How about computers? And other advanced manufacturing? Still slop?

Even if we consider the slopification argument, it isn't strong enough.

The use of AI to produce slop is a non-argument. On the same level of argument that an open internet would produce scams, proliferation of pornography, and gross commercialization/ads. All true, but still a lot of new value was unlocked from n order effects.

Your comment is too dismissive for me to bother responding more than this.

		Your entire point stands on being dismissive of an entire emerging industry. An emerging industry that has the fastest adoption rates, the fastest growth rate, and where millions of people using it on a daily basis. YOU need to provide the evidence for your truly absurd claims. In order for you to be right everyone else needs to be wrong. The capital markets, the investors, the companies, the hundreds of millions of people using it on daily basis, they ALL need to be wrong.
