I've also seen people using the term "slop" for low quality human-generated content (lowbrow movies etc)

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.
Now that AI is here, why read Hacker News comments? I bet you can generate quality content with AI! Do we even need to write anymore?
