The legal system has a word to describe AI "slop" --- it is called "negligence".

And as the remedy starts being applied (aka "liability"), the enthusiasm for AI will start to wane.

I wouldn't be surprised if some businesses ban the use of AI --- starting with law firms.

What if anything do you think is wrong with my analogy? I doubt most people here support strict liability for bugs in code.

Very good analogy indeed. With one modification it makes perfect sense:

> And as the remedy starts being applied (aka "liability"), the enthusiasm for sloppy and poorly tested software will start to wane.

Many of us use AI to write code these days, but the burden is still on us to design and run all the tests.
