In my opinion, AI Slop is content made with AI that is low effort. People feel and know the quality of something, and if it feels like slop, it feels like slop.
AI being used is not a deal breaker for me as long as the product is good. AI isn’t magic and it takes skills and knowledge to use it and to judge what the model outputs.
You may see it differently however, some might believe that the use of any AI tools whatsoever turns any app into slop the moment the first commit with AI code in it is made.
What do you think, what does AI Slop mean to you?
Slop is anything made by people who don’t know what they are doing and why anyone would want it. The people who necessitate laws that “chocolate” products need to contain X% amount of cocoa. Because to them it is “brown fatty thing” so they add brown to fat and ask someone to make a compelling packaging.
These people believe generative AI works because they can’t tell. If you gave them hot mud and called it coffee, they would think it was coffee.
People who can tell butter from lard, do not think generative AI works at all.
So yeah genAI can only make slop. Some people believe it is useful and I hate them.
