  • Slop is not a new word at all. Spam is a name for then new concept. Also both happened much more naturally (hey, or organically) Enshittification is one word that was pushed by one person and people fell in love with it for some reason.

    Look, invent new words. That’s how languages work. Especially languages like English. But then don’t complain that it’s too many words or there are no words to say “AI free”, because newly invented neologisms will always require more words in real conversations.

    I mentioned the real problem (as perceived by me) below. I didn’t say we shouldn’t add new words to our languages at all. Admittedly, zuzai specifically also just happens to sound terrible and silly.






  • But to be real for a moment, I think a neologism that just means “no AI” is giving more power to the “AI industry”.

    The website gives an example, the word vegan. It’s as if someone who eats meat felt like it takes too many words to say “meat eaters” and made up a new word for it in opposition to veganism. If anything, they would be solidifying veganism.

    Note: yes, people say carnivore when talking about meat eaters. But that wasn’t invented solely for this use and also it’s not precise.
