   W11 is spyware by design.  Whilst it is sometimes very helpful,   
   it also violates the hell out of your privacy, slows your   
   computers down, and is intrusive.   
      
   Removing W11's AI makes for a better user experience.  I recommend   
   it and do it all the time.  Customers are really appreciative to   
   have their computers restored to normal functionality.   
      
   I do use both search.brave.com's AI and ChatGPT a lot, but   
   the difference between them and M$'s intrusive spyware   
   approach, is that I am in control of when and what it is   
   used for.   
      
   Maybe AI will be better in the future, but I double M$ will   
   be the ones doing it.  M$ model is to collect and sell your   
   data.  You are no longer the user; you are now the product.   
      
      
   ChatGPT: what is "AI Slop"?   
      
   “AI slop” is a slang term used—often critically—to describe   
   low-quality,   
   mass-produced content created by generative AI that feels generic,   
   shallow, or spammy.   
      
   What people usually mean by it   
      
   AI slop isn’t all AI-generated content. It typically refers to content   
   that has some or most of these traits:   
      
   Overproduced: churned out in huge volumes (posts, images, videos, articles).   
      
   Low effort / low value: little originality, insight, or usefulness.   
      
   Generic style: bland phrasing, clichés, repetitive structures.   
      
   Optimized for algorithms, not humans: made to farm clicks, SEO,   
   engagement, or ad revenue.   
      
   Context-blind: ignores nuance, accuracy, or audience needs.   
      
   Examples:   
      
   Endless listicles like “10 shocking facts you won’t believe” written by   
   AI with no real research.   
      
   Social media images that look polished but meaningless.   
      
   Automatically generated videos with stock footage, robotic narration,   
   and no substance.   
      
   Blog posts rewritten from other AI posts in a feedback loop.   
      
   Why the term exists   
      
   People use “AI slop” to express concern about:   
      
   Content pollution: the internet getting flooded with junk, making good   
   content harder to find.   
      
   Loss of trust: readers/viewers not knowing what’s real, thoughtful, or   
   human-made.   
      
   Devaluation of creative work: when quantity overwhelms quality.   
      
   Important nuance   
      
   AI ≠ slop by default.   
   High-quality, carefully edited, well-researched AI-assisted work is   
   generally not called AI slop.   
      
   The term is cultural and subjective, not technical. What one person   
   calls slop, another may find useful.   
      
   In short   
      
   AI slop = mass-produced, low-quality AI content that prioritizes volume   
   over value.   
      
   If you want, I can also explain:   
      
   How to tell AI slop from good AI-assisted work   
      
   Why platforms struggle to moderate it   
      
   Whether it’s actually getting worse (and where)
