The Rise of the AI Cleanup Crew: Humans Fixing AI's Mess

The rise of AI tools like ChatGPT has led to a surge in low-quality content, dubbed "AI slop." This includes inaccurate, unoriginal, and unrealistic content across various media.

This highlights AI's limitations in creative work and the irreplaceable role of humans in ensuring quality and authenticity. We need to rethink the relationship between AI and human creativity to prevent the proliferation of AI slop and build a more authentic and sustainable digital world.
