i cannot wait for the word "slop" to leave the zeitgeist.
- psvv 4mo ago
  I have a feeling "slop" is the new "spam" (etymologically) -- it could be with us for decades.

  be careful what you wish for, there's always some new awful thing to replace the old awful things

  I wonder when/where that started. My girlfriend's kid and her friends have been using the word slop for at least the last 5 years to refer to fast food.
  - john_strinlai 4mo ago
    i mean, ive heard to for fast food and stuff before. but someone said "ai slop" once, and now apparently slop is the only term people can think of to describe literally anything of low quality or anything they dont like. ETF slop. microslop. slop article. self-reinforcing slop. word slop. slop-powered craft. slop-cannon. vibe spaghetti slop. tools slop. llm slop. slop site. slop factories. slop induced tech debt. slop submissions. slop content. intense slop. one-shot slop. slop art. "slop out a blog post about it". slop rewrite. spam-slop. load-bearing slop. (those are all from the last ~8 hours on this site alone) there is a bit of irony in the fact that the anti-ai crowd harps on overuse of "not X, but Y" and em-dashes, yet they all use the exact same adjective a half dozen times in every ai-related comment. maybe ai will start overusing the word slop and things will self-correct.

    So, like "spam". Theyre both things we consume. Well not me, but NPCs.

    It started on 4chan with "goyslop" referring to unhealthy fast food and instant food.

  i cannot wait for the word zeitgeist to leave the zeitgeist.
  - john_strinlai 4mo ago
    wow you got me, i forgot how zeitgeist is used to describe every single thing people don’t like now adays. how could i have been so stupid not to see the identical frequency of use between "X slop" and "zeitgeist". (zeitgeist is in 19 comments this week, we're 3 of them. slop is in 775 comments. most comments containing slop once contain it multiple times, so ~1500+ times)
