There Is No Ethical Way to Use Algorithmic Slop
This week I refused to renew a subscription I have been paying for since last century. It wasn't expensive. And I still enjoyed the content.
I cancelled for one reason and one reason only. The newsletter author has decided that using ChaptGPT (and other so-called "A.I." tools) is acceptable.
I refuse to participate in the grift. I explain why I call it that -- and why I consider using algorithmic slop complicity in crimes against people and the planet -- on my blog.
