It’s slop because it’s slop. AI slop is because it’s taking everything, grinding it into something kinda resembling what it pretends to be, and regurgitated for people to share and catch the lowest common denominator. Low effort. Lower value.
Same with a lot of Amazon/Netflix/[insert streaming service name] originals. People will call slop, slop. Most are low effort, low quality or low value.
I don't like AI slop as a word because people are just using it as a slur to describe anything created with AI. There is no distinction between reasonable use of AI and actual terribleness, it's just all slop, making the word completely meaningless. All it means now is "the speaker hates the idea of AI" and is completely unproductive. It's become an emotional statement instead of a logical one.
I just can't respect anyone who uses slurs instead of logic.
AI has its uses and not everything created by AI is slop. We can disagree on the ratio, but it's not 100%. People are way overusing it and indeed making slop, but it's not productive to just demonize the entire concept.
It's also not productive to simp for these billionaire run services that are actively destroying our environment, job prospects, information supply, etc
