AI companies and users of AI are littering all aspects of public space with "AI slop", but does this term reflect what it really is? We have terms like visual pollution, sound pollution, etc. In a way, "AI pollution " seems a proper term, but AI also pollutes meaning, like with AI generated text. Is AI pollution a new form of "microplastics"? Everywhere and in everything?

I feel like it's yet another a thinly-veiled rant disguised as a question. Which is not to say I disagree with their premise, but there has to be a better community for this soapbox stuff.
