I have been playing with a new term: "slop huckster"

A slop huckster is more than someone who likes to play with generative AI, or has some arguments for why they've been able to use it productively

Slop hucksters argue that generative AI means you should stop doing creative and productive things, kind of likes to rub it in your face that they can make creative persuits useless

The attitudes of slop hucksters resemble incels, a kind destructive bitterness stemming from jealousy

@cwebber sounds like every post on LinkedIn, hop on the train. AI can do it all. "I'm 10x more productive than I ever was." You getting paid 10x more?

LinkedIn , owned by Microsoft, is just a mindless cheer leader for corporate initiatives such as using AI tools.
