It's a cultural affectation like attaching -maxxing to any adjective.

I smile when I come across the term 'qualityslop', which is an oxymoronic term to indicate very good human content.

I don't mind it, because there already was a lot of slop before AI, which a lot of people seem to forget. But that's also because they weren't the consumers / target audience so it's off their radar.

This is my other problem, people calling things that aren't even AI as "AI slop" which cracks me up but is also concerning.
