Entrepreneur argues "AI slop" dismissals are choking off needed debate on AI's job impact

A Reddit user, 12 months into the platform and focused on business topics, laments that AI discussions constantly derail into "AI slop" accusations. He distinguishes using AI to manufacture opinions from using it to communicate genuine experience — only the former deserves dismissal.
The post widens into bigger questions:
- CS students now entering degrees may graduate into a market where AI already does much of what they trained for
- If junior tasks are automated, how do graduates gain experience? What happens to salaries when skill supply outstrips demand?
- AI is reshaping marketing, support, admin and development; accepting that an industry will change doesn't mean celebrating every consequence
He calls for open, honest discussion, since today's career decisions affect the next 30–40 years of people's working lives.
