I'm not conflating anything. I am just answering the question of why slop can be the only outcome.
On a Spotify-level scale, web-level scale, slop can be the only outcome.
The question I asked was specifically about locally generated content.
But it's in the context of an alternative to a Spotify product, right? With millions of users.
Exactly where the slop is generated, or by whom, is essentially irrelevant: at scale, slop is the only outcome from these tools. It always will be.
And presumably in a resource-limited environment, slop quality is even more likely.
Billions of users, with increasingly powerfully hardware, locally executing models that better understand the world and human psychology.
