What is this complete alternate reality? I've never seen a single time slop used to refer to AI images, but to refer to garbage mass produced Hollywood/Amazon/Netflix corporations. Bad AI art is called "AI slop". One of the implications are that both are garbage, to the point where you can even wonder which one is worse (it depends on which aspects).
This article somehow does not mention it...
In the article "Talk" section there is this:
>Requested move 3 December 2024
>Slop (artificial intelligence) → AI Slop
>When the term "slop" is used to refer to low-quality AI content it usually is called "AI Slop". Most of the sources this page cites follow this naming convention. Searching for "slop" on the aggregator Google News and Hacker News also show this pattern. I'd estimate 80% of the usage of the term in online circles is "AI Slop", 10% call it "slop" but mention "AI" later in the sentence (in cases like headlines), and 10% just say "slop".

The uses I’ve seen of slop are mostly in regard to media produced by large companies that is unremarkable and derivative, meant to be consumed and quickly forgotten, making way future media that is practically identical. AI generated media is in some sense the apex of slop, it is able to be churned out much more quickly and without any sense of originality.
