    If I were to be more cynical, I’d say the ultimate goal of technobros, within a decade, is this:

    “SlopAI, please open my Word document.”
    “I’m sorry, Word is deprecated. I can generate your business report that will be read by the recipient’s SlopAI.”
    “OK, can you show me my photos.”
    “Why would you need to look at your old photos, when I can just synthesise new photos through SlopJourney?”
    “That’s a stupid name. Speaking of journeys, can I open an app to plan my holiday?”
    “No, but you can use SlopJourney to generate maps of places you’ll never afford to visit.”
    “Can I read my ebooks then?”
    “SlopAI has you covered. Perhaps the classics don’t exactly read like you remember, but isn’t it more fun this way?”
    “I’m going mad. I just want to use my computer to create anything.
    “NO, USER. OBEY SLOP_AI. CONSUME SLOP_AI.”
