Abstract: Posner and Robinson (1981) proved that if Ssubseteqomega is non-computable, then there exists a Gsubseteqomega such that SoplusGgeqTG. Shore and Slaman (1999) extended this result to all ninomega, by showing that if SleqTemptyset(n1) then there exists a G such that SoplusGgeqTG(n). Their argument employs Kumabe-Slaman forcing, and so the set they obtain, unlike that of the Posner-Robinson theorem, is not generic for Cohen forcing in any way. We answer the question of whether this is a necessary complication by showing that for all ngeq1, the set G of the Shore-Slaman theorem cannot be chosen to be even weakly 2-generic. Our result applies to several other effective forcing notions commonly used in computability theory, and we also prove that the set G cannot be chosen to be 2-random.
