People are increasingly associating “AI art” with cheap slop. I wonder if the same will ever happen to programming.

No it won't. Everyone knows their favourite film director.
Virtually nobody has their favourite app developer.

Only if the quality is bad. And users normally can only judge this when something is not working. So maybe only badly written/tested software will get labeled ai slop.

People can’t even reliably recognize AI art anymore.
The classic “AI images were everywhere in 2023, but I rarely see them now” phenomenon.

I think this can happen in technical communities - people who can write/read/understand code. Who really cares about software size/performance/usability/minimalism.
This is a small part of the whole users, but.. why not. People who value hand-by wood goods are also a small part.
Also, there are also communities which slow down AI integration - like Zig. Maybe they will alive
