AI slop blocklist witch hunt on X draws pushback over false-positive risks
mark_k · x · 2026-11-07
Amid an AI slop poster infestation on X, one user (Dillon Mulroy, per screenshot) maintains a public blocklist of "AI slop posters" for agents to monitor, drawing 220K views.
markk (61K followers) pushes back: while he hates automated AI replies too, he opposes shared blocklists — people inevitably end up on them by mistake, their reach destroyed with no path off the list. The fix should come from the X team; "witch hunts and lynch mobs are not the right way." A snapshot of the community-governance dilemma posed by AI-generated content flooding social platforms.
