> AI slop eventually will get as good as your average blogger. Even now if you put an effort into prompting and context building, you can achieve 100% human like results.

In that case, I don't think I consider it "AI slop"—it's "AI something else". If you think everything generated by AI is slop (I won't argue that point), you don't really need the "slop" descriptor.

Then the fight Kagi is proposing is against bad AI content, not AI content per-se? Then that's very subjective...

  • I don't pretend to speak for them, but I'm OK in principle dealing in non-absolutes.

  • Explicitly in the article, one of the headings is "AI slop is deceptive or low-value AI-generated content, created to manipulate ranking or attention rather than help the reader."

    So yes, they are proposing marking bad AI content (from the user's perspective), not all AI-generated content.
