Free users can upload up to 5 files per project (Plus gets 25), and there’s a splash of fun with color and icon customization. Projects even come with their own memory controls, so you can fine-tune how much the AI remembers. It’s already live in ChatGPT so check them out.

🗑 AI Slop Is Flooding the Internet and Nobody Wants It

🐝 The Buzz: The term AI slop has gone mainstream. It describes the flood of low-quality, uncanny, and repetitive AI-generated content that’s clogging up feeds, marketplaces, and search results. From TikTok videos to Amazon e-books, slop is reshaping digital culture in all the wrong ways.

• What counts as slop: Generic, meaningless AI output churned out for clicks, ads, or royalties. It’s basically spam with a modern, synthetic twist.

• Everywhere you look: TikTok filters, YouTube thumbnails, AI-written novels, auto-generated songs, the slop economy is real and profitable for sloppers.

• Cultural backlash: Writers, philosophers, and even John Oliver have warned about the “sloppocalypse,” saying it erodes trust and buries human creativity.

• Not harmless filler: Fact-checkers like Snopes note it’s getting harder for users to separate truth from noise, making misinformation easier to spread.

💡 Takeaway: AI slop is digital pollution. Without better filters and higher standards, the internet risks drowning in algorithmic mush while genuine voices get lost.
