That works as a good definition for me. Whether or not you want to call it "slop", anything that helps to filter out AI-generated stuff could be helpful.
My only concern about this is that it seems to rely on user reporting, and if that reporting includes (mistakenly or otherwise) sites that don't have AI generated content, that could make the tool less useful.
Further info here https://blog.kagi.com/slopstop indicates a key attribute is "deceptive".
I can see this being weaponised against controversial sites made by humans, with no way to prove they are human.
Reports being weaponised is a big issue with asymmetric (report-only) systems, but at least here there seems to be a “report as not slop” button.
“Symmetric” user reporting is dearly needed in some websites; as you say something can be mass-reported with no real recourse.
