Honestly "slop" should also be retroactively applied to e.g. Buzzfeed content; it shouldn't just be AI-centric

It isn’t AI centric, it’s derived from poor quality wet food. Often given to pigs or used to describe prison food. It’s the origin of the term ‘sloppy’.

Colloquially it means ‘poor quality’ and always has done. So buzzfeed is journalism slop, just like poor quality AI content is AI slop.
