When regular people use it to try and help them do their jobs, they turn out slop, when adversaries use it to successfully and rapidly mount cyber attacks, all of a sudden it is scary effective? Which is it, because it can't be both.

Of course it can be both. Why couldn’t it be both?

Every generative technology from the paint brush to the compiler can create trash or something impressive.

Not everything AI makes is slop, but it sure is good at generating slop.
