Has ai always had sloppy work?

Yes, yes it had been. But it has been better than me, since I am trash.

The "slop" is the sloppies themselves, not the AI. AI is only a tool, not a replacement for human effort or creativity. People dislike AI and joke about it here and there. I honestly think that some people use AI as an excuse to avoid human creativity and call themselves "AI artists".

I mean, I know AI isn't considered as a "replacement", but it does gain a lot of popularity. In all honesty, you do have a good point.
