There has been a push recently to christen unwanted generative content as “slop”: This New York Times piece by Benjamin Hoffman, for example, defines “slop” as “a broad term that has developed some traction in reference to shoddy or unwanted A.I. content in social media, art, books and, increasingly, in search results,” typified by the now infamous glue pizza. The term feels more or less synonymous with “spam,” but seems to suggest there is something worse about using “AI” to pollute communications, as if there were now something artisanal and dignified about human-crafted spam.
