It will be called slop even more then.
I remember when Microsoft wanted to call sharing songs "Squirting".

"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication," Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as "cognitive amplifier tools." "...and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other."
There's that word 'hope' again. It seems to be the main driving force behind a.i. implementation.
Also, I think "cognitive real-time amplifier product" makes for a better acronym.

If it sounds like a duck and looks like a duck, I’m calling it a duck.
Once it stops being slop, I’ll stop calling it what it is.

If you don't want it to be slop, don't grind culture into a slurry, run half the worlds electricity through it, all for it to generate child porn. Actually fuck off.

Fascists: "We don't like to be Called fascists!"
AI companies: "We don't like our slop created from stolen content to be called slop!"
Then stop spewing slop everywhere, AI or not
The "slop" refers to the flood of low quality "content". Therefore fixing people calling your stuff slop is simple, at least in theory.
It’s not the general public’s fault that AI was released before it was ready for prime time. It’s not like the word “slop” was picked out of a hat, either. AI earned the word with its laughably bad output.
I’ll make the CEO a deal, though. If AIs stop producing slop, I won’t call it slop anymore.
Microsoft Copilot is the tip of the spear for the firm, powered entirely by ChatGPT and Microsoft's savvy early investments in OpenAI.
“Savvy”? Really? I think it’s years too early to make that assessment.
Indeed, in closing, Nadella seems to admit that AI doesn't truly have "societal permission" right now, referencing widespread backlash and mockery that continues to dog the technology.
What kind of “permission” is he looking for? Permission to steal and ignore copyright? Permission to build untold numbers of data centers and do vast environmental damage? Permission to lie and sell a substandard product? He probably wants all three, and more.

So stop calling the slop slop?
Gee I dunno, maybe start by making an OS that isn’t so sloppy.

Ok, we'll call it "trash" then
