AI slop has spilled over into businesses.


This weekend I saw a report on the surge of AI slop startups.
People are calling themselves web developers, vibe coders, logistics specialists. Few of them deliver anything people are actually satisfied with.
AI didn't create the incompetence. It just removed the friction that used to weed it out.
That reminds me of a Veritasium video.
He asked questions that weren't impossible. You just had to think for a second. Most people said "I don't know" instead.
Same thing here.
Checking your own work, actually verifying it's good, takes effort. Most people won't spend it. AI makes it easy to skip that step and still ship something.
Where will it end?
