Abstract
Our adventurers are still recovering from the battle against the automaton of AI bias, but little did they know that lurking beneath the waves was a new monster, waiting to swallow everyone and everything they hold dear. It's time for a new TTRPG themed talk! This time around AI slop, the beast that devours everything and summons forth endless simulacra. A beast that is everywhere, taking our data, churning out non-stop slop. We will look at what AI slop is and how to combat it, in both the game and real life.
AI slop is a scourge of our time. It has been likened to an oil spill, and even to the atomic bomb in terms of its pollution of the internet. Part of my work is as an AI fact checker and I see a huge amount of AI slop. I will guide you to recognize the key signs, as well as some tricks to protect your data. This talk is a D&D themed talk about AI slop. Much like my previous D&D talk I will alternate between a story as DM, and information we can use to fight the increasing swell of AI slop in our lives. I will provide meaningful tips and insights for how people are fighting, from combatting google AI overviews, to protecting your data, all with a D&D flavor that will hopefully grant us inspiration and bonuses to our perception checks against AI slop.
