Slop rule

Clarification: I'm not defending generative AI slop, but rather trying to spoof of people that call popular things "slop", regardless of their nature, see the term "friendslop". Even some AI bros use the term "slop" on non-AI work they think should be obliterated by the "democratization of the arts", such as "Hollywood slop".

You seem to be unable to distinguish between slop and trash.
Your post isn't slop, but it is trash
- yeah but there are plenty of folks that act like slop whisperers when they are actually wrong at least some of the time.
No ??
Slop is specifically for obviously AI generated bs, regardless of the message. I block and report these posts even if I agree with it.
- I’ve seen it used for any low cost/low effort product as well. One that cracked me up was seeing games that revolve around doing something with your friends (like Peak or Repo) get called ‘friend slop.’
- No slop is used for low brow pop culture shit produced with the goal to please low common denominators
yea - thads a preddi gud word for it ~ ~ ~
Slop is like shovelware. Enough people are fine with it that it keeps being made, but it also deserves to be derided and people should stop making it.
