    There was a lot of podslop before Ai started doing this. I’m all for trying to get this cleaned up but unlike Ai songs that can sneak into my algorithm and get played on my Playlist perhaps even without me noticing, I’m going to sniff out a bum podcast before I devote any time listening to it or at least know very quickly if it’s garbage and do my part to alert others.

    It seems that there’s a few popular podcasts that are really just regurgitated Wikipedia articles with additional context from the sources. I don’t listen to those, but I can see why someone might think it’s a good idea to make an AI podcast if that podcast gets views.

      Stuff that is getting slopified was already basically slop to begin with, I know people need to do something to survive under capitalism but if your job is reading Wikipedia articles it shouldn’t be shocking that you’re first on the chopping block.

    I work in plumbing and my boss sent me a youtube video he found interesting about pressure limits of sharkbite vs welds and halfway through i knew it was AI generated and that the data couldn’t be trusted so i told him it was AI and i had to explain to him what i saw in the video that to me screamed AI so hopefully he won’t be caught again…

      Oh God I hate sharkbites.
      These stupid guys are like " no man it’s guaranteed for 50 years".
      Bro - put it on your walls and if it leaks they gonna replace your sharkbite connection so what? They not gonna cover leak damage.

        Tbf the video did say that sharkbite where not able to sustain as much pressure as a weld but still the slop machine doesn’t know shit and will be wrong.

            There can be events that make the pressure spike and if a line freezes pressure goes up quite a bit and it’s best that the points of failure are as strong as possible or at least as strong as the pipe itself. Wich apparently sharkbite might not be.

              To me the rule of thumb is if you can see it, Sharkbite is fine. Sharkbite is probably better than any weld I do, because I can’t sweat pipe.
