In my opinion, AI Slop is content made with AI that is low effort. People feel and know the quality of something, and if it feels like slop, it feels like slop.

AI being used is not a deal breaker for me as long as the product is good. AI isn’t magic and it takes skills and knowledge to use it and to judge what the model outputs.

You may see it differently however, some might believe that the use of any AI tools whatsoever turns any app into slop the moment the first commit with AI code in it is made.

What do you think, what does AI Slop mean to you?

Yeah. Basically ai has made things easy enough to do crappily that a lot of crap is created. People who would have to think for a while and spend time writing a paragraph can get one written from a one sentence prompt. they can create a story from a paragpraph. similarly if they had no art talent they might try some stuff but even to make a crappy thing it would take time and effort. Honestly like I got sick of memes because they are low effort so I stay away from them. That was because photoshop made it easy to make these simple little cartoon type things. ai creations are like that. someone using llms in their work is no different from using google search when they work on something but if someone took the first link from the first search and copy and pasted it like it was some great thing it would be quite annoying.
