How about we just stop using Microsoft products instead?

    Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.

    OK, stop calling it A.I. slop. We can choose from:

    • A.I. dreck

    • A.I. junk

    • A.I. muck

    • A.I. offal

    • A.I. rubbish

    • A.I. sewage

    • A.I. trash

    • A.I. waste

    ...better?

    You're absolutely right! I did call your slop "slop". Let's try that again. Your AI slop is slop. Oops, I called it "slop" again! Let me start over, right after I produce a seahorse emoji. Slop. Oh, no did I just say that? Slop Slop Slop I can't stop stop stop saying slop slop slop.

    Mr Nadalla is human slop. None of his words are truthful. Hes spinning a narrative purely because the results benefit him.

    He should stop talking and show us something. Prove that AI is good. So.far every demonstration has been fake and every real world test has failed.

    It's not shocking he would make such dumb statements, but it is rather shocking that the "quality" of the writing here is so incredibly poor. I mean, my expectations of CEO thought pieces are pretty low, but this doesn't even meet that low bar. 😂

    It was probably written by Copilot. AI is bad in its various ways, but there's degrees of difference between the offerings. Copilot is bottom as far as I'm concerned. It can't do simple language stuff that an LLM should be able to do. That's why he's the upset one, people have stopped bothering with his brand AI.

    It's not the AI that people are calling slop... it's the slop. People-made slop existed before AI and it was still slop.

    Funny, I don't care what Microsoft wants.

    I agree under the condition that the Microsoft CEO refers to shareholders in all public PR as "Daddy" for all of 2026.

    Microsoft CEO wants you to think about Microsoft 24/7

    Slop, slop, slop, slop, slop, slop, slop, slop, slop, slop. Forgot to say. Slop, slop, slop.

    Amazing irony that this article was written by AI

    Emdashes all over the place

    While the article could very well be slop (and I'm not defending it either way, also fuck the CEO of microsoft), it's very common for (actual) journalists to use the emdash, that's where the models likely picked it up from to begin with. I hesitate to use the emdash alone as an indicator for slop. When it's paired with lists, lots of bold, over embellishments, and common slop phrases ("but here's the thing", "everything changed", "marking a pivotal moment", "the transformative power", "further enhancing", "pivotal", etc), then I start to think that it's LLM slop. Wikipedia has a great page on how to spot common slop. It also mentions that one of these is not necessarily a sign of slop, but when there's a lot of these together it definitely can be.

    The statement from the CEO is almost certainly LLM slop.

    "it has em dashes" is the worst reason to assume something came from an llm

    Do you have an emdash button on your keyboard?

    Yes, both on my computer and on my phone. And before finding a decent keyboard disposition on my computer, I used the “Ctrl+Shift+u+unicode” shortcut. It’s been years but I still remember that the code point for the emdash is 2014.

    Just because you can’t type a character, don’t assume that this is the case for everyone. Some people care about punctuation and will make efforts about this kind of stuff.

    The biggest injustice I had to endure due to AI is my proud keyboard setup which enabled me to use emdashes and correct quotation marks liberally becoming useless unless I want ppl to think it's AI writing...
