I found a way to fight AI slop

Summary

The author proposes using AI as a research moderation and synthesis tool rather than a content generator to combat 'AI slop.' By building a pipeline that compares and ranks expert sources, the author argues the future human role in AI is curation and judgment.

I think most people are using AI completely wrong. Right now everyone is using AI to generate infinite garbage: infinite blogs infinite tweets infinite SEO spam So this weekend I tried building something different. Instead of using AI as a content generator, I used it as a research moderation system. I built an automated pipeline for my Institute for AI Economics website that: scans real research sources every week pulls papers/articles from arXiv, Stanford HAI, OECD, BIS, etc. compares themes across sources ranks strategic relevance generates disagreements between experts extracts core mental models generates deep understanding questions auto-publishes the briefing archive I’m starting to think the future role of humans is not “content creator.” It’s content moderator / synthesizer / judge. AI can now generate infinite perspectives at near-zero cost. So the scarce thing becomes: taste judgment synthesis Basically: AI generates. Humans moderate. And maybe that’s how we fight AI slop. But by building systems that: compare outputs challenge outputs rank outputs force disagreement synthesize competing viewpoints That feels way more valuable than asking ChatGPT to write another “10 productivity tips” article. Curious if others think this is the actual direction things go. Does AI push humans toward becoming editors/moderators/curators instead of creators?
