"AI slop is a meaningless concept. It's not any more slop because it's AI, and the slop churn was going long before AI hit the scene. It's burying a thousand ledes so you can hop on an uncritical superiority bandwagon instead of acknowledging the impact of perverse incentives on social media and art.

IMHO, slop is something designed primarily with the aim of hitting an algorithmic feed and getting as many views and shares as possible. The point of slop is to get views because views equal money. It's something made for the sole purpose of exploiting social media payouts with minimum effort."

Nioce. Fast and cheap, the hackney'd lane comes around, even I entertain it with its tradition. It's where IP lies.

The perverse incentives, deserves to be placed here.
Drawing from memory.
