win win, considering the slop game studios are pushing out these days.

  I'm glad we're starting to use the term "slop" for human outputs as well. Especially corporate slop.

    Always have been. The term "slop" long predates recent AI developments.

    It’s not exactly new. Pig slop is generally random food scraps etc. Big brother used “slop” for their flavorless penalty food long before LLM’s. Arguably the connotation has changed slightly, but AI slop caught on because it fit so well.

      "slop" is a type of British food (like "Gruel"). It's uncommon, and associated with old timey prisons and orphanages. The word itself has existed for hundreds of years.

      Slop is also evocative of spam, another great unwanted gastronimic tech byproduct.

    It was used to refer to human output to begin with, in certain corners of the internet.

    All slop comes from humans. Some of that slop just happens to be humans operating LLMs.
