Really grateful for this smart + constructive critique/response to our Why Slop Matters paper (ACM, 2026) from Nishal, Sax + Kieslich (good title too). I'll run through their 3 main critiques which I basically agree with arxiv.org/html/2606.12... : @sachnishal.bsky.social @kimonkieslich.bsky.social

"prediction" markets incentivize profiteers to find weak spots in the fabric of reality and reweave it for easy money — a kind of reality arbitrage, at the expense of our collective faith in a shared world www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...

I will also add that I do hear from science journalists who are using these tools in this manner (to suggest experts for interviews by naming specific fields, or through pasting in abstracts of papers) and regardless of what we think of that practice, this kind of bias is important to measure!

pretty cool to see this! on the user side, our CHI '26 paper found that science journalists were excited to use AI for sourcing but still wary of bias in who is surfaced. some preferred suggestions for types of experts to interview for a story, in lieu of specific names: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
