Nobody that actually understands the market right now would say that

    Nobody paid to pretend to actually understand the market would say that. They have a paycheck to get.

    Meanwhile, actual consumer sentiment is at all time lows for AI.

There is absolutely AI slop out there. Many companies rushed to add AI, a glorified chat bot to their existing product, and have marketed it as AI.

There is also absolutely very tasteful products that add value using LLM and other more recent advancements.

Both can exist at the same time.

    They can. But I'm not digging in a swamp to find a gold nugget. Let me know when swamp is drained. Hopefully the nugget isn't drained with it.

      You just reply to all my comments with your negativity. If you cannot see it, I am sorry for you.

Pretty sure HN has become completely detached from the market at this point.

Demand for AI anything is incredible high right now. AI providers are constantly bouncing off of capacity limits. AI apps in app stores are pulling incredible download numbers.

I understand it as the market wanting more content about competing in an AI world

Sora's app has a 4.8 rating on the app store with 142K rating. It seems to me that the market does not care about slop or not, whether I like it or not.

    Okay. Lemme know when they need to pay for it. A free app for a trillion dollar investment isn't the flex Altman wants to make it seem.

    I don't understand why you're being downvoted, you're not wrong. I think Suno being successful bums me out, I really hate it, but people that are not me love it. I can't do anything about that.

      >but people that are not me love it

      Are people that are not you making it profitable? That's the obvious issue.

        Maybe not now. I imagine it'll go the way of many other things: buy demand with a product that beats alternatives in perceived quality and/or cost -> create a dependence on the product -> wait for the death of competition -> monetize heavily on a dependent userbase.

The market wants a lot more high quality AI slop and that's going to be the case perpetually for the rest of the time that humanity exists. We are not going back.

The only thing that's going to change is the quality of the slop will get better by the year.

    >The market wants a lot more high quality AI slop

    They sure aren't paying for it. It's great how we're on a business topic we're not talking about the fact that the market demand doesn't match the investment put into it.

    "High quality AI slop" is a contradiction in terms. The relevant definitions[1] are "food waste (such as garbage) fed to animals", "a product of little or no value."

    By definition, the best slop is only a little terrible.
