I'm more sick of hearing "slop slop slop slop slop" than I am of hearing about AI at this point. People sling slop around like it's some sort of brave, heroic, destructive insult, leaving AI users in tears and shambles in its wake. Ironic considering a complaint against AI is that it regurgitates the same characteristic bit of content over and over again mindlessly. But even ChatGPT would have the writing skill to cycle in some other adjectives, my goodness.

I don’t think anyone using the term “slop” thinks it’s brave or leaving anyone else in tears and shambles. I’m fairly certain when folks say they’re tired of AI slop they literally mean they’re tired of AI slop.

You wouldn’t be calling it “slop” if you thought a human made it in photoshop, which means your judgement isn’t actually based on the quality of the image.

What’s the point of calling it “slop”, then? What is “slop” even supposed to mean if it’s not describing quality?

Anyone can write anything on UrbanDictionary. How often do you actually see that term being used?
