what is slop
#

slop is unwanted content generated by AI (like by an LLM), in contrast to authentic human created content like posts on IndieWeb sites that have disclaimed use of any generated AI for their content https://indieweb.org/slop

What is Partiful?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Partiful" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Partiful is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
gRegor
Just curious, probably don't need a page. Apparently co-founded by former Palantir people
