    There’s only one mention of the word “slop” attributed to Nadella in the entire piece. It’s this:

    “We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as “cognitive amplifier tools.” “…and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other.”

    Now, that’s entirely meaningless corpospeak, but it’s also very clearly not “Nadella wants you to stop saying slop”.

    But the article needed bait and nobody reads past the clickbait headline anymore. The intellectual laziness fuelling the slop isn’t exclusive of AI usage.

    We suck at this.

    I propose an oath, ok? You commit to not using GenAI in 2026… and also to not EVER comment on an article or social media post you haven’t read in full.

    Deal?

    Given that Microsoft’s own people are publicly using the phrase “Garbage In, Garbage Amplified”, perhaps garbage amplifiers is a suitable term for these products.
