So, that's how I watch YouTube now, is I slap it into Mac Whisper, and then I hit copy and paste into Claude, and then I use the Claude web app to do things.”

This is where I've been pushing the definition. I love the term slop. Where I've been pushing the definition of slop as AI generated [00:41:00] content that is both unrequested and unreviewed and the unreviewed thing is really important like that's the thing that elevates something from slop to not slop is if A human being has reviewed it and said, you know what, this is actually worth other people's time.

I don't want to spend five or 10 minutes tediously debugging my way through it, through a, a nested list algorithm, but I'm happy for code interpreter to, to go ahead and do that. And in fact, when it wrote the code, I watched it make the exact same mistakes I would've made, like forgetting, getting off one off by one errors and all that kind of thing.
