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 think slop is a good word, its funny and condecending. Pollution just doesnt hit the “fuck you and your shitty product” spot the same way slop does.
Yes, slop is good for this purpose. I’m sticking with slop. Slop it top.
