DeepMind researcher Samuel Albanie quipped that "the slopcore canon is in safe hands" while sharing ArthurB's contribution to the #slopcore genre: an AI-generated homage to the X-Files "I WANT TO BELIEVE" UFO poster, made with a bunch of models via Sogni Protocol. Slopcore is an emerging AI-community meme genre that deliberately embraces the kitschy aesthetics of AI-generated slop.
