I guess but it seems like very often they put a lot of emphasis on the "program" creation aspect. AI slop as it exists today is the opposite no?

I think of both extremes where the holodeck is a combination of being so extremely detailed you can spend years on a program and also supposedly extremely "slop" like where you can just say "computer create X" and it just does so.

The current AI slop is very much the latter part of this, specialy given how little control you have and if you do end up having to integrate AI art or whatever into some bigger project then it is borderline not saving any time at all.

At the current stage, you do not get exponentialy or even lineraly better results by spending more of your own time messing with AI models, LORAs etc.

So yeah I guess, maybe you may as well say that the replicator is just actualy good "fast food".
