I have come to understand the usage of "slop" as possibly the sloppiest thing of all: Something that looks like critique, if it were not so entirely devoid of content.
- doug_durham 1y agoIt is the absolute "sloppiest". It's just become a lazy ill-considered critique worth nothing.
- viccis 1y agoI think part of the point of it, as a thought terminating cliche, is that it's usually used to critique something that is commensurately fatuous.
- NewsaHackO 1y agoYeah, arguments about “slop” have definitely devolved lately. Maybe it’s strange (or just typical human behavior), but using “AI = slop” as the only reason to dismiss something and refuse to engage in a discussion clearly parallels the way some people use AI to spam feeds.
- viccis 1y agoWait until you find where the modern use of "slop" (as opposed to its original meaning before a few years ago) came from
- ottah 1y agoYou know someone doesn't have anything critical to say when they use that word.
