Pretty sloppy, really. I’m not a fan of the term “AI slop” either, as I think it takes some of the responsibility away from the people actually using the technology.
Funny enough, I was discussing something similar in another thread earlier today, where someone was talking about using automated background removal tools to process images en masse.
Different technology, but the same principle applies. Just because you can automate something doesn’t mean you should blindly accept the results.
You still need a person to look at the images, understand what they’re looking at, check for errors and ultimately approve the work.
What’s even more surprising is that Just Eat claims every AI-generated image was manually checked before being published. So what exactly were they checking?
AI is a tool, not a replacement for human judgement or quality control. Ultimately, someone has to take responsibility for the finished product.
