Comment on Why do neurotypicals like AI slop?
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoYes I understand.
But what I don’t get, is why are neurotypicals so inclined to look for “something mindless to distract them, thus the emphasis on mindless scrolling over guided or curated content.”?
That’s like the entire question no one has answered ITT.

They’re just bored.

No, that’s not what I asked. I get bored as well, but I don’t seek out explicitly this content, they seem to - why?

Its not normally sought out, in fact, its nearly the opposite. If you don’t filter what you search for and you just mindlessly scroll on most social media, its low effort slop (AI and not) that you end up with.
Its in the same vien as most mobile games - Most people download the first thing that catches their eye on the app store (part of why top grossing is so prominently featured) and if it holds their attention at all, they keep playing. They’re not looking for good games, they’re looking for something to reduce boredom on their bus ride.
