“Slop” was brewing as a term just as AI generated video blew up. It was primed for launch by drama slop YouTube channels and other content slop on video platforms. But it exploded into common use as a result of AI generated content flooding social media platforms.

I personally hate that slop has become so broad and loose of a term. For example, “friend slop” is a really shitty brain dead term for small multiplayer games like Peak. There’s always shitty people with no taste abusing useful terms like this.

I think “AI slop” is great tho. And big tech CEOs can cry all they want about that one.
