Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella really wants you to stop calling AI "slop" in 2026 — "We are beginning to distinguish between spectacle and substance.". Well, yeah, that's why we've been using the term "slop", because it's all fucking spectacle.
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,"
I'm with ya, it's all slop, though I don't see why we need to replace that term.
